Soul Destruction and Psycho Narco are my own faves. There's a handy Greatest Hits thing out now that I haven't got yet - Anthf*****ology. Should be worth a listen!

Crank is a good place to start. Definitely in my Top 10 albums.

Just Add Life is a bit different, full of trumpets and shit, but still a very good album, and Powertrippin has a more grungy feel to it.

Just get the fuckin lot, they're ALL bloody great albums.

You'll probably have an impossible task to track down Blood, Fire and Love in any format, I keep tracking ebay, cos tht's the only one I don't have by them

I love Just Add Life, i guess its their wildcard but theres just something about it and i defy any of you lot to not be singing along to All Sussed Out by the end of it.

Bargain.

Slighlty off top but the best buy/find i ever had was when I was living back in Grimsby and the local Our Price was shutting down and they where flogging everything stupidly stupidly cheap and was draw in by this weird swirly face front cover of an album by a band/duo called the Sand Rubies for 99p, i only had 50p on me at the time having just spent a shed load in Andys Records down the road, anyways my mate took a shining to it aswell and we put our last few pennies together risking losing money on a dodgy purchase but we got it back to his house and fucking hell it was one of the most amazing things Id ever heard, its the kinda thing fans of Counting Crows and Hootie and THe Blowfish would like, guitar based Americana if you will, I loved it my mate hated it, i got the album for 50p I still listen to it to this day, sadly cant find anything else out about them, they seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth.

Back on topic, you wont be disappointed at that price my son.

I got Just add life for a similar price. Wasn't too sure about ti tho. Powertrippin pissed on it hands down in my opinion.

I've got the bonus album version of that,

It has a second cd with a gig recorded in Osaka, appropriately enough called 'Just Add Live'

Had to track down the three 'Do You Understand' singles to complete the gig though, cos they were the 'b' sides of the singles
