[Maurice E]

I'm not really an albums person; I'm always quite disappointed by them. The best I can ever hope for is 5 or 6 brilliant songs so hear are some albums (possibly more than 5) which I think contain at least 5 or 6 great songs:

-The Golden Mile; My Life Story
-Park Life: Blur
-Viva Hate; Morrissey
-Back in Denim; Denim
-Reading and Writing; The Sundays
-The Visitors; Abba
-Hope and fear; Keane
-Self titled; The Stone Roses
-First Belly Album; Belly
-TQID/Strangeways: The Smiffs
-err, that's about it. It's all a bit too indie for my liking!
