Jeff Buckley - Grace (1994)

I don't think Ben has listened to this album, although I know Elliott loves it so he may well have done. If so Ben, then contact me on Facebook and I'll switch it to another one.
Anyway Grace is one of my favourite albums ever and I think its safe to say that Buckley is the greatest vocalist I've ever heard. This album shows his broad skill in many different styles of music from blues, to rock, to sombre piano pieces. This album also contains Hallelujah, originally by Leonard Cohen, which I'm sure you all know well from the pitiful x-factor cover. Buckley's version is the best I've heard as he puts such emotion in to the lyrics like the original and other covers such as John Cale's can't do.
The music on the album isn't really amazing but thats not the point, it could be the best music in the world and still be overshadowed by these vocals, Buckley is that good.

Biffy Clyro - Blackened Sky (2002)

I was always planning to put this album before AlbumSwap's untimely demis and so thought it only right to do so now that is has been re-born. 'Blackened Sky' is Biffy's debut album and has a much more raw sound to it than more recent offerings 'Puzzle' and the soon to be released 'Only Revolutions'. It's got some of my favourite Biffy tracks on it including the incredible '57' and it set the foundations for one of the best rock bands around at the moment in my opinion. Everyone seemed to enjoy 'Puzzle' so hopefully this gets a similar reaction.

"Joy. Discovery. Invention" – 3:38
"27" – 3:27
"Justboy" – 4:22
"Kill the Old, Torture Their Young" – 6:12
"The Go-Slow" – 3:59
"Christopher's River" – 4:09
"Convex, Concave" – 4:28
"57" – 3:21
"Hero Management" – 4:46
"Solution Devices" – 3:18
"Stress on the Sky" – 4:14
"Scary Mary" (Simon Neil/Martin Scott) - 3:05

Radiohead - OK Computer (1997)

OK Computer may well be my favourite album ever. It is the album that turned Radiohead from a band that I quite liked to my favourite band in the world. This album has everything - great music, amazing vocals, meaningful lyrics and top notch production. Not only that but every song sounds different - something that previous Radiohead releases did not have. Channel 4 rated this as the best album of all time... and I am inclined to agree with them.

Also I found this album to be a grower, so give it a good few listens if you've got the time.

1	Airbag		4:45
2	Paranoid Android		6:25
3	Subterranean Homesick Alien		4:26
4	Exit Music (for a Film)		4:26
5	Let Down		4:58
6	Karma Police		4:22
7	Fitter Happier		1:56
8	Electioneering		3:49
9	Climbing Up the Walls		4:44
10	No Surprises		3:48
11	Lucky		4:17
12	The Tourist		5:23

Unfortunately I couldn't find a download link to this album, so it looks like you'll all have to soptify it. When I saw this band on the Reading lineup, I was immensely pleased, and thought we should all have a listen. If I'm honest, I could have put any Placebo album up, they're all good.
