What 90s vinyl albums do I need?

[MeanMrMustardSeed]

I was 17 in 1997 and had hundreds of albums at sixth form / uni. I sold them all as I went digital and am now rebuilding my collection on vinyl. I loved The Longpigs and Mansun. My favourite bands of all time are The Beatles, Muse and The Killers. I want to buy 5/6 albums over the next few week. What do I need that I haven’t thought of? I have What’s the Story, Going for Gold by Shed Seven, Franz Ferdinand, to give an idea of what I like…

thank you!

Mm, might not be ‘guitar’ enough for you but if I was buying vinyl from the mid 90s I would get Portishead ‘Dummy’ and Leftfield ‘Leftism’.

Jagged little Pill (Alanis Morrisette)
