Build up your music collection #2

Here are 7 albums you really should be listening to now – don’t take my word for it, check out the links to listen to these essential tunes…

• Speech Therapy by Speech Debelle – winner of the 2009 Mercury music prize, socially aware and funny London hip-hop tunes.
• The Resistance by Muse – absurdly pompous follow up to Black Holes and Revelations, amazingly produced and performed – essential stuff!
• One Love by David Guetta – perfectly made, accessible house music – ideal for prolonging those summer days, or dancing round your living room.
• Break Up by Peter Yorn and Scarlett Johannson – yep, that Scarlett – think of this as a modern day Gainsbourg and Bardot. Which can only be awesome. See Also.
• La Roux by La Roux – The Eighties revival gathers pace with this impossibly poppy debut from Elly Jackson aka La Roux – electric stuff, literally. See Also – Little Boots
• West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum by Kasabian – currently ubiquitous, but for a reason. This is head nodding, hip shaking rock and roll. Enjoy Loud.
• The Beatles – Remastered- Stunningly remastered to sound beautiful, every music lover should have some Beatles in their collection. From the exuberant pop of Please, Please Me to the acrimonious Let it Be – there is a Beatles album to please everyone.

What do you think should be in everyone’s music collection?
