Albums I picked up for €1

I regularly go to two thrift stores in my neighborhood and I'm always surprised at the albums they got there. I won't describe every single album, but I will say something about the ones I know really well or the ones I feel like deserve more attention. I decided to make this list, because I always check sputnik for the rating if I don't know the album or the artist.

Anouk
Hotel New York

Anouk is an artist from the Netherlands and I actually really enjoy her music. Not all her songs are great and her album usually has some filler, but she has a lot of great songs. This album is probably her best with songs like Girl, Lost, One Word and Jerusalem. If you've never heard any of her music and you like pop-rock, she is worth checking out.

Anouk
Together Alone

This is her debut album. This is more on the rock side than Hotel New York. This also has some great songs like Nobody's Wife, Sacrifice and Mood Indige. However, this album has a little more filler in my opinion. Still the good songs outway the mediocre ones.

Anouk
Urban Solitude

This is her most "rock" album I own. This definitely has the strongest instrumentals, but I don't always like her vocal delivery here. Still a lot of amazing songs like The Dark (which reminds me of RHCP), Body Brain and R U Kiddin' Me.

Anouk
Who's Your Momma

This is one of her more polished albums, but that doesn't mean it's bad. This one has her strongest vocal perfomance in comparison to the other albums. This alone makes this release quite enjoyable, but there are some great songs like If I Go, Modern World and Good God. This and Hotel New York are probably my favorites. It's just great pop-rock with power.

Cypress Hill
Rise Up

I'm not very experienced with Cypress Hill, but I know the name. When I saw the guest spots from Daron Malakian, Tom Morello and Mike Shinoda I definitely decided to pick this up. My favorites are probably Carry Me Away and Rise Up.

Death on Wednesday
Buying the Lie

Super underrated album. Somewhat of a mix between Pop-punk and Rock n' Roll, with a great vocalist. Amazing stuff and defintely worth listening. This deserves more than 4 votes.

Dire Straits
On Every Street

Eminem
The Marshall Mathers LP

Ephel Duath
The Painter's Palette

Amazing mix between jazz and metal. I haven't listened to it as much a I want to, but this definitely deserves a listen. Super techincal, experimental and just simply great.

Fall Out Boy
Take This to Your Grave

One of the better pop-punk albums I own. I start to loves this one more and more with every new song the band releases. This is just a very solid album with lots of energy. Way better than their newer stuff.

Fastball
All the Pain Money Can Buy

From First to Last
Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count

Another great album. Energetic music, emotional vocals and solid songs. The lyrics aren't always that good, but if the music is just this good I really don't care that much.

Guns N' Roses
Appetite for Destruction

Guns N' Roses
"The Spaghetti Incident?"

Guns N' Roses
Use Your Illusion I

Guns N' Roses
Use Your Illusion II

Hopesfall
The Satellite Years

This is probably one of the best albums I've bought. This is an amazing mix between agressive and quiet. Loud and Soft. I don't usually listen to this kind of music, but this album is encouraging me to seek out more.

Ilse DeLange
Incredible

Another artist from the Netherlands. This is probably her best album and it's a mix between pop, rock and country. She has a beautiful voice and the songs behind her are pretty great as well. She isn't that well known outside the Netherlands so if you're into this kinda music, please check it out.

Ilse DeLange
Livin on Love

Ilse DeLange
World of Hurt

Jay-Z
The Blueprint

Kanye West
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

This is also in the race for best album I bought for 1 euro. This is way to solid and I would've bought this for the full price if I didn't get so lucky. Amazing beats, solid guest spots and an exciting album in general.

Forever Is Forgotten
The Architecture Is Still Burning

This one wasn't supposed to be down here on the list, but I forgot it earlier. I don't really like this one. This wasn't what I was expecting, but if you're into very aggresive music you should check this out.
