The only two albums I have there are 13 and Surrender, but both are very good

Stereophonics album is underrated tbh

Beth Orton is great so thrown her in too, dunno that Chem Bros album but probably like it more than Blur

5

Faithless and Manics probably.

A lot of these passed me by. The Beth Orton one was easily the one I listened to most at the time, some gorgeous songs on it.

Looking forward to the Stereophonics debate opening up on a second front here.

Probably Underworld, blur and the token jazz album I haven’t heard

Well done blur

Ah, missed this. Woulda voted Blur, Underworld, Manics. Chemical Brothers very close but no cigar, which is a shame - Surrender is great
