Ain't saying it's the greatest album, but it's certainly my favourite.

one of richard ashcrofts fav albums
Figures. He's always been about weighing an album down with 10X too much selfpity and introspection.

IATC is over heralded. Good for what it is, a way unfinished album project that it's creator couldn't get off the ground (not just due to the frequently mentioned industry hassles, but because he'd fallen majorly and couldn't get the shit together), but nowhere near the classic that people make out. It's more a posthumously compiled set of demos and works in progress than an album.
"There Was A Life/Light" was already a depressingly Beatley drag when Big Star deemed it too mediocre/unformed for release. The subsequent version on IATC is pasty enough to make that earlier pass sound like Funka-fuckin-Delic by comparison, to the point where you're wondering if the ambition was to write Hurricane#1's "Let Go Of The Dream" 25 years before Andy Bell dribbled it.
Where CB's stellar "#1Record" contributions offered affirmation, swelled the heart and inspired empathy, too much of the stuff on IAMTC only reeks of Mama's boy type "I'm a genius and nobody knows it" indulgence. And not in a compelling way.
Don't mean this to be cruel, because I'm a big admirer of Chris' talents at their most exalted, but when he whines the line "spending all my time, waiting to die" you just wish someone would put him out of his misery/apathy. For his sake. It IS possible to scream of suicide while still betraying a deep desire for life (YER BLUES, IN FREAKIN UTERO), but Chris just says he wants to die and that's it. Bye then, see you in the next one.
And that IS sad...not heroically, as most seem to think, but pathetically.

Of the good stuff..."Speed Of Sound", You And Your Sister" and "Look Up" are stunning, complete productions. The superior 45 mix of the title song is left off. And roughly tuned guitars, guide vocals and nonexistant production that the Beatles obsessed studio-perfectionist in Bell would've built over (use the quantum leap of "Get Away" into "I Don't Know" as your proof) relegate brilliant tunes like "Better Save Yourself" and "Though I Know She Lies" to unfinished gem status.
Jody Stephens' void is massively felt, the dynamics and propulsion required to send potential-fat slabs of boogieNsnarl like "Make A Scene" into the stratosphere completely absent from Rosebrough's lifeless drubbing.
"Fight At The Table" is just rancid.
Kinda like half of a great album -- still essential, but a frustrating non-contender in trueblue LP terms.

funnily enough i would agree with a lot of this - though i do love the record, it really only placed so highly in that list of mine due to some tactical voting. if i was being honest i would have both #1 and in utero ahead of it!

but i dont think it's fair to criticise the record or bell for being "pathetically" depressed. there is a strength to the sorrow. a beautiful hopelessness intwined to the record. the weakness is its strength.
correct me if im wrong, but werent you the one who referenced visiting townes van zandt if you needed your sorrowful kicks? well even if you werent, i find a similar vein in van zandts stuff. that there is a nobility to the despair.
i dont see a lack of fight in the music, i see a weakened spirit, and a weakened struggle. for all the sadness in iatc, i dont see the impending doom, the resignation that life is at its end. i see a document of a troubled life, a troubled time. how much of that is self inflicted, self pitying? i dont know, and i dont actually care for the solace i can find in it outweighs any of the complaints i might have.

I think I might be about to open up a whole nest of musical vipers here, but I rate Moondance over Astral Weeks...it brought an extra element of soul to his music, as well as moving towads a more outward looking perspective in his songs.

I guess I'm a bit biased because Caravan is my favourite song of his...curse my spaced-out memory but I honestly can't remember if he sang it in Pilton last year! I do recall he was slightly upstaged by Brian Wilson's set, though Brian himself didn't look like he was doing too much that day...amazing to hear him sing those Beach Boys classics, but hard to really discern his voice amongst all the backing vox. Van Morrison's voice still sounded strong though.

Quick one while I've got the chance. You're not alone in rating Moondance over Astral Weeks, as no less a luminary than Robert Christgau has always gone thumbs up on the former and thumbs down on the latter. I guess I'm a fan of Van's, but Moondance holds very little interest to me - you talk about a soul influence, but much of the record sounds awfully plastic - prefab soul, if you will, or pastiche. "These Dreams of You", "Crazy Love", "And It Stoned Me", I mean, they're all impeccably crafted, in every way, but they're also nothing more than pastiche - readymade Ray/Smokey/Van himself (respectively). "Into the Mystic" no longer does anything for me (it didn't for years, it did for some reason from ~2001-~2004, it no longer does) and "Everyone" has always irritated me. In my opinion His Band and the Street Choir, which is much looser, feels much more authentic, by virtue of the fact that the songs finally sound like Van's own rather than like pastiches. And though the songs are ostensibly not as memorable, there are more of them, and the convivial atmosphere is irresistible. Anyway, it's clearly the best of his pop work. Into the Music from 1979 is almost as good. In the last year or so I've lost patience for the likes of Tupelo Honey, St. Dominic's Preview, Hard Nose the Highway, etc., even Veedon Fleece, which has some of his best material and some of his most diffuse. I still like (love?) most of Common One and Beautiful Vision, even Inarticulate Speech of the Heart.

Oh yeah, Astral Weeks. Well, it's sui generis, and it's perfect, and it's one of the greatest pop albums ever made, and probably the most moving with the possible exception of What's Going On. Leaving aside the fact that its poetry is real poetry, and spellbinding, the music sounds so much unlike anything else - even Van's countless and increasingly wearying retreads and the innumerable ripoffs about which Van memorably and sanctimoniously bitched on "A Town Called Paradise" - and its evocative power is so enormous and enveloping that...well...I mean, there's no beating it. It may not be the best album in my collection, but there's nothing better.

Happy New Year, everyone!

"If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dreams..."

There is something about that album - the title track in particular - that for me has always been a great source of pleasure and comfort.

It sounds like the ocean. Its sounds like a lot of good nights in....it takes me back to times a few years back and I suspect it will always have that power. I love it, and everyone i've ever shared it with seems to think the same. I really like that part when the strings start...

The rest of the album, well for me only 'Ballerina' comes close.

comps are not albums

Post by **BzaInSpace** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 9:01 pm

Aye they are.

Anything more than a couple of tunes - [single or EP length] - is an album.
Besides, 'Astral Weeks' was never a comp anyway!!

anorthernsoul · Post by **anorthernsoul** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 9:20 pm

nah ... they're not albums. they're records, maybe. albums are albums. it probably gets slightly more contentious if you're talking about bands recording pre-1960 when albums were just singles (broadly speaking blah blah blah). the idea that someone can have the best of someone in their top ten is bullshit. it reminds me of when someone out of mogwai got asked what their favourite album was and they said 'the best of music side two'.

Post by **BzaInSpace** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 9:43 pm

Contentious... to who exactly?

My favourite Beatles album is probably The Blue Album.
Very definetely an album - they even named it as such [as well as being blue...and a comp!].

The recent Mary Anne Hobb's Dub Warriors compilation is a fantastic ALBUM.

Why bother?

bunnyben · Post by **bunnyben** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 4:50 pm

it depends how you look at an album/comp. if you look at it as art, for example ladies and gents, where all songs fit together blah blah then a comp is not an album and is not definitive of a time and place. if you look at an album as a collection of songs then comps are. say you like an artist, hyperthetically the mary chain and love happy when it rains, upside down, i love rock and roll etc but can't stand tracks like nine million rainy days or here comes alice then the best thing to recomend is the 21 singles comp rahter than psycho candy, darklands, munki if the person won't like most the songs and will have to pay extra. from that point of view a best of comp would be the best album to buy.

I guess you could put most of those albums in a "top 10" list, but Storm in Heaven? Really? I've been a huge Verve fan, but these days their stuff is starting to sound a bit thin, too precious, even. Not even one White Stripes album? What about their debut? I'd say its as good as any Velvet Underground album, a band which has bored me lately as well. Hell, just line up White Stripes, De Stijl, Elephant, and White Blood Cells and fill in the rest after that. Jack White's outdone about everyone, at this point; even old
Spaceman, whose lackluster stage prescence has become tiresome. Twenty years of sitting down onstage...give it up already. Him and Richard A. are so '96. I'd rather see jack and MEg any day of the week.

One noticeable difference is the 30+ years between VU and White Stripes releases. And i'd put either VU, Another View or Loaded(probably considered one of the weaker VU releases by many) up against any White Stripes record.
Posts like this make me want to ditch my entire White Stripes catalog.

whoeva said nothings shocking you have excellent taste.
1. jane's addiction - nothing's shocking
2. spiritualized - ladies and gentlemen
3. pink floyd - dark side of the moon
4. portishead - dummy
5. radiohead - ok computer
6. ojos de brujo - cale bari
7. high contrast - high society
8. the eighties matchbox b-line disaster - the royal society
9. velvet underground - white light/white heat
10. Jurassic 5 - s/t

this has been done v quickly and is prob not quite correct, dosnt really sum up my tastes properly

ekewebb · Post by **ekewebb** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 3:15 pm

Here's mine then.

Scott Walker - Scott 3
Can - Tago Mago
Captain Beefheart - Clear Spot
The Congos - Heart of the Congos
Velvet Underground & Nico - VU&N
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
The Triffids - Born Sandy Devotional
Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis
Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

Ladies & Gents, Metal Box, Exodus and Behaviour just fell outside my top ten

Anyone feel like going through all these posts, assigning points and working them into some sort of chart?

No I thought not...

mkb · Post by **mkb** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 3:38 pm

In no particular order:

1. Love - Forever Changes
2. Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
3. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
4. Primal Scream - XTRMNTR
5. MC5 - Kick Out The Jams
6. David Holmes - Let's Get Killed
7. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abbatoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus
8. Doves - The Last Brodcast
9. The Who - Who's Next
10. Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Streetcore

Those are my favourite albums at this moment, but half the list would probably change if I did this again tomorrow.

It had to be you....it had to be you-ooh....i wandered around and finally found it-had-to-be-you.

Why is there so much respect for the Stone Roses-Stone Roses? So good they named it twice!

The Second Coming was loads better IMO. Then the Seahorses, wow, now there was a band. All that talk of John Squire having a supergroup.
Well anything super when you mix it with a lil' white heat, aint that right John...I know you're there man, know you watch the forums, know you're knees buckle and you fall to the floor wankin' and in hope that one day you'll get the adulation.

Should've been a rythymn guitarist man, fuck being innovative look, where that got you John, look where it got Jimmy, John.

Aint like you left us a body of work John, is it man? I mean sure you locked yourself in the room until you hit 'Resurection', but none of the kids are feelin' the second coming, your second coming John. They all glaze over when they here King Monkeys words; he was the focal point John, wasn't he, he was the man, man.

Rememeber John, fuck that sugar spun sister, kill that bad man and piss in that waterfall. I saw you, yeah you John, change from that 12 string to your lead where Tears picks up and kicks off and we were the kids 'shouting there's only one John Squire'. So John, so long man and cheers for the Jack Daniels.

I can't listen to that twee effort at all now. It's destiny was always your local boozer' jukebox...why?...because it's a memory you and yer mates can tap into for 10mins when yer pished on bottled beer...but thats all it is...a memory...
The problem with the Second Coming was that they took too long...way too long. There fan base had grown up. If i remember correctly that music (the first album) came on the (or) off the back of the acid house scene. In fact a lot of that music did...what was it termed "Baggy"...Wow, what a scene!
Anyway I'm sure when the Second Coming came out, Oasis were just kicking off...I seem to remember lots of mod-like haircuts around about the time.
I find there debut nauseating now, although at the time i will say that I was a fan. To me it just reeks of the words "indie" and "student" and all the shite associated with that.
Oh right, you want me to talk about it musically...sorry, not so clued up on that.
While the Second Coming has a few nods to the debut, it feels more raw and ravaged and to me more real.
I don't enthuse about either album, I no longer own either album. I just believe the Second Coming to be superior.
I have a mate who just can't move on from 'those days'. He plays The Beloved, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Charlatans et al [kill yr idols, aint that right]

I'm glad I chanced upon Lazer Guided Melodies after a nod from a mate. took me in another direction totally, 'cept the slight 2yr detour into dance music...

Post by **BzaInSpace** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 7:15 pm

Yeah, I like 'Second Coming' better too. 'Love spreads' is one of their best, for me the majority of that album would be on a Roses best of.

But then I heard it before the first one! The tunes Ben mentioned i've heard to the point of sickness where i'm actually immune to them. I used to work barstaff in an indie club so that is probably why!

I loved Ian Brown's first album.

Seahorses were really, really fucking bad though.

'Poor'? Not as poor as the man whose ears are too jaded to hear one of the greatest records of all time for what it is. If you can get past the pasty hordes of clueless indie-disco go'ers who like one band for every letter in the alphabet - Stone Roses fits just nicely after Radiohead in the wall-mounted plastic wavy CD holder thingy and your friends will think you're cool when they come round and see what a badass indie tastemaker you are instead of some fake clone pop fan who likes Britney Spears or something corporate and sad like that, ooh yeah baby - that LP stands up with the best of any era. Save the indifference for crap like James -- The Stone Roses were a band to believe in, a passion.

p/s: I love "Second Coming" too. Always have.

I guess my particular generation grew up with the roses and so it's sometimes hard to remember other great songs like Elephant Stone, Sally Cinnamon, What the World is Waiting For etc were not included on the official debut album.

James weren't crap - initially as a 4 piece they made some interesting tunes, and when the ensemble expanded and the music changed they made some great anthems, just not all so good.

But I do remember when the roses album came out - we'd heard so much good stuff already including singles/live and different versions of songs on that album, it's only in hindsight I came to realise what a landmark it was...at the time it was just the roses making more great music as expected.

I never said it was poor at all - quite the opposite, just at the time we we're so into the band as they stood head and shoulders amongst their baggy peers, the release of the stone roses was eagerly anticipated but the quality was no real surprise, like I said I was already familiar with some of the songs.

Bottom line is that I'd rate that album as the best debut ever...better than even the smiths or LGM...and it's a contender for best album of all time - they captured the zeitgist of the era yet it's as fresh as ever sounding today.

I think the reference to Sally Cinnamon was relating to a body of work pre-dating the Second Coming.

Glad Sally Cinnamon came up; why cinnamon...sickly sweet...
'I told Sally i was never happy, I needed so much more'
What a lot of whiney wank.

It's difficult to see past the indie-disco aspect as that is what/who they have to come to cater for.

They are IMO to the late 80's/early 90's what Coldplay were to the late 90's/early 00's

They only stand out because the British Music Scene was infiltrated by American shite and SAW (no, not Mr. James but rather Stock, Aitken & Waterman) for the majority of that period.

If it stands up in any era...would it stand up now? Are kids who are in bands now, enthusing about the Stone Roses as a major influence on them? I haven't heard that said often.

There may have been a period when they apparentley 'had it', Spike Island/Empress Ballroom but it passed quickly. The bitter legal split, if it hadn't been for that would they have been half of what they now 'seem' to be in some peoples eyes. No, it's all fuckin' nostalgia. They may now wish to thank Silvertone for the umpteenth greatest hits/remixes/definitive collection that gently stokes the embers for a little while longer.

Right, no band before them ever stood out against a backdrop of shite, they were the first. Ok.

Yeah, but don't ALL these things come and go then come back around again? 10 years ago it was au courant to namecheck the Beach Boys as a hip influence, now, less so. Who gives a fuck? They matter, and always will matter, to people who love music. If you're a cretin, they don't matter.

For you, maybe. Try seeing with your ears.

Like the Velvets have come to cater for their little poseur-core? Or The Stooges? Shall we just say fuck them too? Yeah, let's, let's let the stunted few that number among EVERY band's fanbase blind us to the brilliance of music. Thanks for that.

drones wrote:The bitter legal split, if it hadn't been for that would they have been half of what they now 'seem' to be in some peoples eyes.
No, it's all fuckin' nostalgia.

And, again, insincere hyperbole isn't an issue across the board with about a thousand other great bands? That's exclusive to the Roses?

drones wrote:They are IMO to the late 80's/early 90's what Coldplay were to the late 90's/early 00's

Yeah, so here's where I stop taking you seriously. If you truly believe that, and aren't just mouthing off before you actually think, I don't belong on a thread with you. Not digging the Roses that much is one thing, ignoring their context is another.
Fuck the NME and all the other dicks who didn't get it 'til the wave was cresting over their heads, their Jonny-come-lately patronage only served to pull the band down ultimately...fuck all that, fuck the phonies and the snakes. What you're not understanding is that the Roses TRULY MEANT something to a LOT of people on a purely word-of-mouth level before anything else. Coldplay didn't, nor do they even have tunes close to the quality of what the Roses produced. Putting those 2 bands in the same bracket is about as insulting as it gets. If I have to write something essay-length on this, I will, and I'll destroy every halfbaked point you make in the process.
I repeat: INSULTING and ignorant.

Regarding the whole 'new bands don't namecheck the Roses' thing, what I have noticed are a lot of these new bands (Arctic Monkeys, the View) mentioning Oasis, who themselves referenced the Stone Roses back in the day. Maybe once all these whippersnappers get round to discovering the Roses, the horrible jangly indie-rock sound we're all hearing right now will be abandoned for wah-wah and Zeppelin-riff abuse. I hear the Arctic Monkeys are getting some rapper on their next album-apparently the Monkeys' singer was all set to become a rapper way back in 2002.

I didn't really hear the Stone Roses until around 98-99, and therefore was not shackled with the baggy/dance thing a lot of you guys seemingly were. This meant the album could have been older than Pet Sounds, Revolver, Perfect Prescription etc.. as far as I cared. But the songs stand up, that's the bottom line. And yes, I'd argue they blew it cos they spent too long doing the 2nd album.

I liked Ian Brown's 2nd album, never understood the Seahorses at all, though a few kids at school seemed to like them. And I don't think they should get back together.

Also galling about that remark is that the Roses never even came close to the mass acceptance Coldplay have. Even at their peak they didn't come close to a million-seller, were still idiosyncratic, strange and multidimensional enough to alienate the 3 CD a year consumer who makes charttoppers out of spew like Shitplay.

Hate the fuckin' game and those who officiate it, not the players. Yeah, it's only in the wake of the band's split and umpteen retrospective 'best album' lists that they've seen anywhere near the kind of disheartening commonplace endorsement you're talking about...but that glib obituarising wasn't what made them great in the first place, and I refuse to be convinced that it should make them any less special, refuse to see why it should tarnish them in the eyes of anyone who truly cares about the sounds on the platter.
The halo was always there, the *aura* that has nothing to do with cretinous 'writers' (who use music as a red-herring for venting their own mental-diarrhoea) or the divvies who set their opinions by them. The Roses were weird, anomalous, paradoxical, they had ideas. They never were an industry hype. They happened in spite of press indifference, not because of press hyperbole. That came after, when the dinosaurs in shrines realised something was going on and that their choice was either to get on board or just get the fuck out of the way.

Icily fantasizing the murder-by-gunshot of a presiding monarch over the strains of a folksong as ingrainedly relatable to Englishness as royalty itself? Call me when Coldplay have ideas like that. Call me when Coldplay subvert anything. Call me when they manage to progress past Chris Martin's dickheaded Coyne-dilute lyrical masturbation or Buckland's fuckheaded Edge emulations and into the Fifth Dimension. That's right, when Hell freezes over.

See? Gives the thing a very different complexion, sets a whole other scene. Mope and self-pity magically turn to celebration and bittersweet-uplift when you actually *use your ears*.

Listening to music is fun. Giving things more than just the most cursory, uninvested hearing usually enhances the experience.

Too right sir!
The Roses first album is a thing of wonder. they never came close to it with the second coming (barring Tightrope and ten story love maybe???) and yeah its namechecked by idiots in best of polls. But is that there fault? No. If you actually listen to it. And I mean without your pretences about student music etc etc its an exciting record. It crackles with electricity. The energy on it is insane. The flow of the music is fantastic and the production is in my opinion faultless. Listen to I am the reserection. The instrumental section is so tight, but loose, funky, but rock and roll. I love the shouting over the top. It is a special album. Ok so youve heard it 100 times. Have a break and go back to it and it will send shivers down your spine.

The Roses were the real deal. subversive, raw, unconventional, non conformist and passionite to the core about what they did.

Coldplay.. dont even start

"Sally Cinnamon" wasn't on the album. That one's from the Garner era, predates their Zomba deal.

'Poor'? Not as poor as the man whose ears are too jaded to hear one of the greatest records of all time for what it is. If you can get past the pasty hordes of clueless indie-disco go'ers who like one band for every letter in the alphabet - Stone Roses fits just nicely after Radiohead in the wall-mounted plastic wavy CD holder thingy and your friends will think you're cool when they come round and see what a badass indie tastemaker you are instead of some fake clone pop fan who likes Britney Spears or something corporate and sad like that, ooh yeah baby - that LP stands up with the best of any era. Save the indifference for crap like James -- The Stone Roses were a band to believe in, a passion.

p/s: I love "Second Coming" too. Always have.

Sad? Why? It happens man! Hearing some of those tunes a few times a night, a few nights per week in a crazy shithole with punters doing the 'indie shuffle' will do that for almost anybody eventually! Give me a few years and no doubt they'll sound a bit fresher but not now.

Right now, i'd rather hear some of the lesser played tracks [to ME...PERSONALLY] like 'Badman' or 'Sugar Spun Sister'. Now there is a tune and a half.

The sides collected on 'Turns to stone' were mostly excellent too.
'One Love', that was a good one.

Someone mentions the first albums production - I know Mani was quoted once as saying they felt the album was too quiet and restrained compared to their live sound...so, whatever. Each to their own!

I still like the 2nd albums full-on rock sound, 'Good times' yeah! But fuck it. There are other bands, other albums.

But probably not C**dplay. Emasculated anthems for jaded youth.

"And wash your fucking hand"

Top 10 albums anyone?

Now you're talking, those were always my faves anyways.

"Where Angels Play", "Standing Here", "Mersey Paradise", "The Hardest Thing In The World", total killers. I dig the tape-reverse version of "Made Of Stone" better than the original side. "Guernica"...think it was Ads who included that on his submission to the round of comps from last Summer, reminded me how much I loved that one and got me to revisit those early 12's. Stunning piece of music.

jack white · Post by **jack white** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 8:11 pm

if someone is gonna tabulate this (and i dont think it be a good idea - too few us, and too broad a taste), id like to re-do it beforehand.
though appetite would, obviously, still be my number 1.
a list of the boards favourite spz (and spcm3?) tunes would maybe be a better idea. and before the new album(s) drop.
(people could note their favoured version of a track as an aside to maximise voting).
anyone?

and i agree that the stone roses majestic debut still retains an absolute beauty, which isnt always conveyed presently due to the glare of the publics lighting. it does embody those same characteristics of the funhouses etc., but they get neglected in its existing popularity.

....Does sound like the band described as Primal Scream without the tunes or what Funkadelic would have sounded like had they shouted out from a modern urban hip London, but The Regular Fries always had the tunes to shoot a sky rockets up the backsides of Coldplay.

I'd like to take this opportunity to agree to differ.

Spammy, I can in no way can compete with forming a relevant critique of why i feel that The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses is not a top-ten all time fav and that i feel it is vastly overated. It's just a feeling. I don't try and make sense of it.

I'm very neandertal when it comes to music, as you can see. If i like something i'll growl with glee and if i don't i'll growl with disdain.

I appreciate that to many, many other people it will and always will be more than just 5mins of their lives.

It has been a real pleasure hearing people enthuse so forthrightly and passionately about their own tastes.

Cool, I dig. I've calmed down now. Burn on, dude.

And I agree partially, though I do count it as an all-time fave, it probably wouldn't make my 10 either. Close tho.

I have been tryin' honestly. I am strugglin' to find albums (in there entirety) that cut it.

so far:

Pure Phase - Spiritualized Electric Mainline
Perfect Prescription - Spacemen3
Exile on Main St. - the Stones
Surfin' on Sine Waves - Polygon Window
In the Space of a few Minutes - Telstar Ponies

as they are the most played apparently

then i get stuck

maybes I:

Whats Goin On - Marvin Gaye
The Last Broadcast - Doves
Through the WindowPane - Guillemots (more a nowish favourite)
Souvlaki - Slowdive

then the maybes naw:

as they aint albums as such more comps or greatest hits.

Definitive Terry Callier - Terry Callier
Heart & Soul Disc 4 - Joy Division
Best Kept Secrets - Lamb

just thinkin' about it, i aint been givin' musicians the credit they deserve. I mean it must be consuming enough making one great song, to have to try and produce approx. 10 for an album.

songs i could maybe do....albums i can't

Respect! cheers mate, thats extremely high praise from someone whos so Educated and passionate about music!

Back to business, compiling top tens is an almost impossible task!
Where do you even begin? When you think of every single album that exists since music started being recorded and documented. I mean I can knock out a Funhouse, LAGWAFIS, Ege Bamyatsi etc etc but, its a hard task to do properly? You start to feel like, well I need a Jazz album in there and it starts becoming very formulated and one of that genre, another one from over there. I think it really does have to come from the top of your head like a stream of conscious. Otherwise mr William BullS**t soons rears his ugly head.

Right heres mine as of 12.16
in no particular

1. Funhouse - The Stooges
2. Ege Bamyatsi - CAN
3. Surfs Up - The Beach Boys
4. Gris Gris - Dr John
5. Beauty and the beat - Edan
6. 1966: The Royal Albert Hall Concert - Bob Dylan
7. Clear Spot - Captain Beefheart
8. Good Morning Judge - Furry Lewis
9. The Notorious Byrd Brothers - The Byrds
10. Off the Bone - The Cramps

others thats would have been in there but not today, Exile on Main Street, VU with Nico, the Hits of Nancy and Lee, Acensions, Astral Mediatations...
The list is endless....
