The Top 10 Student Albums
10. Black & White Album - DJ Dangermouse
What do you get when the man behind Crazy remixes The Beatles' 'White Album' and Jay-Z's 'Black Album'?
A master class for any student DJ in how to cut and splice across genres and still produce a classic.
So offended were EMI by this 'travesty' that they issued a cease and desist order to any retailers of the album which only served to cement its status as an underground masterpiece.
9. Myths Of The Near Future - Klaxons
It's amazing that anything of substance over style came out of the new-rave tag, yet Klaxons proved the doubters wrong with their hybrid of dance and indie proving a hit across the student population.
As with most dance acts, it's the singles that hold the album together with Atlantis to Interzone proving a staple track for any indie disco and Golden Skans providing the band's bridge into the mainstream.
8. Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
For the student who spends more time reading Sartre than drinking snakebite, Dark Side of the Moon gives a lesson in how to act as pretentiously as you like and get away with it.
What endears this album most to listeners is the sound of a band pushing the boundaries of what's possible to put onto record.
Such an ethos still impresses when most bands nowadays are content to fill their middle third with nonsensical yelping. 123»
