Right, so basically i recently came into the possesion of €30 worth of Golden Discs vouchers

Any one care to recommend two albums i could buy because im in the mood for completely new music?

Frontrunners at the moment are Belle & Sebastians compilation, and perhaps some queen

Chad ghostal

architecture in helsinki - in case we die.

air - talkie walkie..

just two random suggestions.. both class albums imo.

Creamy Goodness

ben folds - songs for sliverman (might be a long shot) they may not have it, but it's a great album.

John

Dare to live and just pick two interesting looking ones up from the shelf without listening to them.

Tracer AMC. Instrumental Rock type music, along the lines of Mogwai (that kinda genre) but better. They're irish aswell, which is a bonus

Right so. Well, it might be tough not knowing what music you are familiar with and what you like. But if there's one album I could make everyone own it would be "On The Beach" - by Neil Young.
Its almost a religious experience for me at this stage. But enough about me...

I started listening to "Graceland" - by Paul Simon again recently and was blown away by how good it was (much better than I remembered). Probably very cheap in HMV too.

"Relationship Of Command" - by At The Drive-In is another must have album. Its a competely unique and perfectly formed album. It hasn't been matched before or since.

With regard to the other recommendations [above] - skip on Songs For Silvermann - unless you're a big Ben Folds fan. He's done better stuff.

Either way let us know what you get and give your opinion.

Bright Eyes - I'm wide awake.....
Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous

You wont spend a better €30 all year.

PiE

Decemberists - Picaresque
Tegan & Sara - So Jealous

Or blow the whole €30 on The Postal Service's - "Give Up"

Snowman

I second that Decemberist one. Great band. Awesome new album.

and also get something by
Dispatch
or Dredg

magpie

'Melon Helmet' by Knobjockey is indispensible

'A National Anthem for the Dispossesed' by Akwariuz Rizing will also be glued to your cd player once you get it.

Enjoy!

Bungalow Bill

'Long gone before daylight' - The cardigans. I promise you won't regret it.

'Brushfire fairytales' -Jack Johnson, the perfect summer chilled out album.

Pighead

Who Killed The Zutons is a spectacular debut album.It's an eclectic, carnival of brilliance that will establish their unique identity for all to see.
Coming Up by Suede one of those classic albums where every tune is a cracker.Ideal album to stick on before you hit the town on a Saturday night
Trust me,buy these albums and you will become a better person

Colm, you need to pick up a copy of the Zutons Album, the Kings of Leon album (both actually but Aha shake is better), Bell x1's Music in Mouth if you haven't got it already and maybe go for a Josh Ritter album, i reckon you'd like his stuff.

Tyrrial

i second a vote for Belle & Sebastian.
if you don't have The Reindeer Section - Son of Evil Reindeer, get that! it's a muct have!

TrickyDicky

"Attic Faith - Emmett Tinley" or "Poses - Rufus Wainwright"

Kingsize

roots manuva's last album is only a fiver at the mo in golden disks well worth it !!
- if i were you i'd look thru all the reduced crap & see wot you can come up with yo might find yer 30squid goes a long way

herobear

the go team! and anything by Bowie or Beck

eddiehitler

if you dont already have it, the blue album by weezer is a must have...

the latest jimmy eat world one is excellent too
