By an Amazon.com customer
Sandinista!Sandinista! by The Clash
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.50
This triple play 2 CD album is abit meandering and perhaps longer than it needs to be- but its also the Clash's most interesting and musical album.
Et Moi et Moi et Moi: Jacques Dutronc 1966-69Et Moi et Moi et Moi: Jacques Dutronc 1966-69 by Jacques Dutronc
Buy new: $19.98 / Used from: $9.47
Great compilation of late 60s french garage pop and pysche from Dutronc- his best period!
Haha SoundHaha Sound by Broadcast
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $6.55
Offkilter electronic pop- fuzzy and dreamy soundscapes from an old 60s movie soundtrack with haunting female vocals and odd sound affects. Genius!
Prose CombatProse Combat by MC Solaar
Buy used from: $6.78
Great french hiphop and im not really into hiphop- almost acidjazz and a classic from the 90s. Listen for the Gainsbourg sample.
From the Bottom of an Old Grandfather ClockFrom the Bottom of an Old Grandfather Clock by Bill Fay
Buy used from: $40.00
A tad pricey but well worth it- demo and rarities collection of songs from cult psyche songwriter Bill Fay- the demos are better than the studio tracks- a touch of beatles and syd barrett but all his own.
Bowie at Beeb: Best of BBC Radio 68-72Bowie at Beeb: Best of BBC Radio 68-72 by David Bowie
Buy new: $23.99 / Used from: $8.29
Live BBC versions of Bowie rarities played with an easygoing but explosive Bowie- the songs are great- the chatter is informative and this is my favorite Bowie album.
Dirty French PsychedelicDirty French Psychedelic by Various Artists
Buy new: $17.98
Just got this one but already a favorite- a great mix of rare 70 french psychedelic pop mixed ever so slightly by French DJ Dirty Sound System. Much like Air's Moon Safari only better!
All Mod Cons/Sound AffectsAll Mod Cons/Sound Affects by The Jam
Buy used from: $35.00
Contains the Jam's two best albums on one cd- with superior MFSL sound- another expensive cd worth every cent. Weller was easily the best songwriter of his day and still puts out quality songs.
Radio RetaliationRadio Retaliation by Thievery Corporation
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $16.91
Might have picked in my first list but this is worthy of another mention. The best electronic album in years. Political-inspiring and timeless.
Boy Child 67-70Boy Child 67-70 by Scott Walker
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $5.49
A great overview of Walkers true era- great for the casual fan and along with Scott 4 will suffice for most. 1996's Tilt however is worth a listen
