According to Dave Berry - I own six, which is not bad anyone own more?

Seven, or eight if my lad is included (I bought him Ed Sheeran).

As usual though, these lists are more about stimulating a debate than a consensus. For example, if you were to only own one Beatles album, I wouldn't go for Sgt Peppers.

You should really own three -

Oasis, The Beatles and The Who the rest seem a bit random.

Portishead are worth a listen for something different. You never know you might like it

I had the Oasis album for a week or so, then moved it on. Never got into The Who. I'd say Revolver over Sgt Pepper, too.

A "Best Of..." is not an album.

So this is the must have 10 bands if you have middle of the road tastes but want to appear edgy, hip and cool

A movie compilation album in a must have albulm list FFS

But if I'm honest I don't know enough about the great John to recommend a specific album.

He got paid for this as well - WOW

i own one of them Sgt Peppers

the Rocky soundtrack.. !!

The man's a fool. If you're going to listen to the soundtrack from a Stallone movie, it should clearly be this one:

Interesting, that "In praise of Samuel Smith pubs" link at the bottom of the page. Just scroll past the shite to get there...

Oh dear 9 if I include the wife's Ed Sheeran
Wouldn't say any would really make my essential list, even essential artists/bands have better albums than those on the list

2 here (unfortunately one of them is the Oasis one, but I don't get rid of albums even if I don't listen to them anymore).
Why would anyone think they could produce a list that applies to "every man"?
Bell-end.

I got 3, maybe 4 if you include the Beatles album but that gets used as a Tea coaster.

Don't. Just don't! (although I have got the first 3 😉 )

I have four of those, but the list... Where is "Wish You Were Here" or any Pink Floyd for that matter? "Night at the Opera"? How about "Electric Ladyland"? I'd even disagree with his choice of Beatles album, maybe "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver"?

But then again, he is young.
