Every time I see this as top thread I always think "hey an adult contemporary list!" Good luck and hand in there. i've told myself I'd do one of these but I'm lazy as hell. I'll be watching with interest as we approach numero uno.

A few albums I have'nt heard and you are half my age! you are putting me to shame! Keep this up. Nice to see BLACK GRAPE in there. A cracking album.

85. Howling Bells- Howling Bells- 2006

I went to see them in Manchester earlier this year and I was very impressed with the intimate feel of the gig and Juanita Stein's performance and vocals! They are a lot more Australian than AC/DC that is for sure.

This album is a mixture of pop, country, alternative rock and folk. In Interviews they often cite their influences as a bit of everything and one member even said he had a Boards of Canada song as his ring tone but I would say the only thing which they have influenced them with is atmosphere. The best thing about this album is atmosphere it makes you feel relaxed in a shoegaze kind of way. It simply has lots of great songs and is well worth for repeated listens.

Key Songs: Setting Sun, Blessed Night, Low Happening

84. Bloc Party- Silent Alarm- 2005

I take the point there have already been too many albums from the new millennium in my list but you have to appreciate from the age of 10 onwards the new millennium of music has effected me enormously!

Most of the bands which have influenced them I like so it is no surprise that I like Bloc Party. This debut album is by no means perfect but it is definitely better than the follow up. They look like University rejects and have an obsession with being cool but at least this band has some killer songs to make themselves worth your while.

We open with 'Like Eating Glass' ie 'It's so cold in this house' which gets it all off to a promising start. Then suddenly you'll fly off in a helicopter, feel some positive tension, eat a banquet, be blinded by a blue light, hear some voices, have some modern love, become a pioneer!, fill your car up with gas, find out where you are, look at the moon, make some plans then take the compliments. And that is only if you have my copy of the album.

Key Songs: Helicopter, This Modern Love, So Here We Are

83. Faith No More- Angel Dust- 1992

Mike Patton is one of those mad scientist type characters he will do anything to see what the result will be. He has started/been in more bands and side projects than your brain can count past. I don't think the genius of him comes across any more than on Angel Dust although The Real Thing is possibly an easier listen. Also note the rift between Mike Patton and Anthony Kiedis is the most laughable thing in the history of music read into it if you have time and type Mr Bungle Red Hot Chili Peppers Covers into youtube.

Where do I start with this album? It is really one of those you HAVE to listen to. There are no barriers. Rap, metal, classic rock, alternative rock, funk and electronica are all spinning around in Patton's head and he decided to showcase most of it on this album. This even stretches as far as the funniest cover ever in Lionel Ritchie's 'Easy'. Absolutely essential listen from the 90s one of those must hear before you die albums.

Key Songs: Midlife Crisis, Kindergarten, Be Aggressive

No, one album per artist I'm afraid! It is basically the same rules as in the Urban 100.

I will continue the list once I get back from the Leeds festival so enjoy waiting.
