Which British band or artist has the best back catalogue to get lost in?

From 'The Queen Is Dead' to 'Strangeways, Here We Come', every Smiths album feels like a letter written directly to your most dramatic teenage self. Morrissey's lyrics and Marr's jangly guitar remain stubbornly impossible to shake.

Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, the Berlin trilogy — Bowie never made the same album twice and somehow kept the quality absurdly high across five decades. His back catalogue is essentially a masterclass in what pop music can be.

From the alt-rock anxiety of 'The Bends' to the electronic desolation of 'Kid A', Radiohead managed to reinvent themselves without ever losing their emotional core. Every album feels like it was made for a different version of yourself.

Whether it's the theatrical ambition of 'Hounds of Love' or the baroque strangeness of 'The Dreaming', Kate Bush built a world entirely her own. The 'Stranger Things' effect brought her back into living rooms, but dedicated fans never stopped exploring.

Small in quantity but enormous in impact, the Stone Roses' two studio albums remain monuments of British guitar music. The debut alone could sustain a lifetime of listening, but even the divisive 'Second Coming' has aged surprisingly well.

Few British artists have shifted shape as convincingly as Polly Jean Harvey, from raw blues-punk on 'Dry' to the haunting grandeur of 'Let England Shake'. Her catalogue is one of the most underrated deep dives in British music.

'Blue Lines', 'Mezzanine', 'Protection' — Massive Attack essentially invented trip-hop and then spent decades refusing to be defined by it. Their discography rewards a late-night listen with good headphones more than almost anything else.

Robert Smith has spent decades producing albums that swing between pitch-black despair and surprisingly catchy pop, sometimes within the same track. From 'Disintegration' to 'Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me', their catalogue is dizzyingly rich.

Starting out as the sound of a Northern Friday night and evolving into lounge-lizard rock grandeur with 'Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino', Arctic Monkeys have built a catalogue that genuinely rewards tracing the journey. Alex Turner refuses to stand still.
