[West Country Shrimper]

In no particular order:

Athlete - Tourist
Coldplay - X&Y
Michael Buble - It's Time
Stereophonics - Language Violence Sex Other
Various Artists - Very Best Back to the Old Skool

 

[Kenny]

again, in no particular order (my tastes are less guitar based then most on here I would guess!) plus I don't listen to many albums and outside of the "albums" I do listen to my top 5 would be closer to Mikes top 3 this year

soooo taking away the compilations and greatest hits albums that leaves me with about 10 to choose from. So I guess the 5 that I've listened to more then once or twice would be.....

The Business OST
Mylo - Destroy Rock n Roll
Madonna - Confessions On A Dancefloor
Gwen Stefani - LoveAngelMusicBaby
KT Tunstall - Eye To The Telescope
