O - Damien Rice

Parklife - Blur

Beginning Stages - Polyphonic Spree

Guitar Town - Steve Earle

I was going to put The Captain and Me, played a big part in my changing musical tastes as teenager there was no going back after hearing that, at that time, it was either that or Stampede along with their first album so left it out like many others and as a lot of people have had to do.
