Please dont take the piss, I havnt said anything derogatory about Morrisey, The Smiths or the Stone Roses although I could and probably should.

GK, you seem to be a good bloke but that is what i think of your list and how could you possibly take the piss out of Mozza or the Roses.

[Snorri1234]

Noone mentioned To the Extreme?

[suggs]

who are to the extreme

[johnnyrotten]

Wish You Were Here is a shite album. DSOTM kicks its ass every single time. In fact Animals does too.

[Neoteny]

You guys need to get off classic rock's penis.

I will love you forever.

[qeee1]

I'm pissed off with the canon proposed by a lot of the music press on the basis that all the good music was made years ago, nothing after 1990 can compare, and nobody will ever be as good as the beatles.

f*ck you rolling stone.

[qeee1]

also is the whole tha carter like the new rick roll or something, where you persuade people to buy the album... and then laugh, because I'm really not getting it.

It's really not just music press. It's surprising how many of my peers prefer older music. It seems to be one of the "in" things at the moment.

I really don't like the Beatles. But I really don't like a lot of music from the mid-90s on with only a few exceptions (among Rock anyways).

More albums...
Poets and Pirates
Best of Guns and Roses
Mo Town
Beach Boys Greatest Hits
Queen's Number 1 Hits
Flick of the Switch
For Those About to Rock
High Voltage
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
KISS Alive 3
Best of the 50s
Monsters of Rock

Oh wait a sec...

yeah, like i didn't know that you half wit. Could it be that i COULDNT BE ARSED TO WRITE "i know its a compilation" etc etc

[Shark2112]

You left off Beach Boys- Pet Sounds- worth listening to if you haven't heard. Not your boy band pop group album type sound - Brian Wilson truly shows his musical genious here.

I definately agree with :

Beatles- Sgt Pepper's
David Bowie - Ziggy
Beatles White Album
Beatles Revolver
Pink Floyd - Dark Side - Wall - Wish you were Here - Animals
Eagles Hotel California

I would add:
Barenaked Ladies - Gordon
Rush 2112
Rush A farewell To Kings
The Hollies Greatest Hits
Neil Young Harvest
CSNY's greatest hits

Im' sure I am forgetting something ...

I am only 32yrs old but damn - the music of the sixties and seventies was the best! the 80's and 90's sucked for the most part- or was that just the hairstyles and clothing?

Just say "Thanks, I didn't know that." and move on. Otherwise, you look like...you.

Barenaked Ladies - Gordon
Rush 2112

CSNY's greatest hits

Happy Canada Day!


Hey, Bryan Adams, BTO, Guess Who, Murray Mclaughlin (outstanding!), Tragically Hip, and Gordon Lightfoot all deserve a mention too.

[suggs]

look, pug face, i had that album when i was six years ol, its one of my all time favs (obviously!).
Of course i knew it was a compilation.
But its still an absolute classic.
School finished early for you today btw?

If you are into the Who, you really should pick an album that was an expression of a particular time and was a complete, related piece of work. Pete Townsend would scoff at your ignorance.

Picking a compilation is fine for bands that you really aren't that into, but if you pick a compilation for one of your favourite bands, I think it speaks volumes for your lack of understanding of what a real album can mean. Meaty was one of my first Who albums, but as I got into the band, I knew they were about a lot more that just catchy tunes. What's your second favourite Who album? Odds and Sods?

[suggs]

Listen to the album . Its one classic after another.
Tommy, on the other hand is balls.
I loved the Who in their Mod phase.
Once they rocked it up, and Pete lost the knack of pop craftsmanship, they wern't the same.

Hey, if you aren't really that into music, I understand where you're coming from.

[Shatners Bassoon]

Because alternative rock is the only genre worth listening to:

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Television - Marquee Moon
Sebadoh - III
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
The Kinks - The Village Green Preservation Society
Nirvana - In Utero
Boards of Canada - Music has the right to children
Can - Future Days
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

This is a very nice list

[Neoteny]

I think I only saw Queen listed twice on this list. I'd put them up there somewhere.

[muy_thaiguy]

Though not an album, the song Devil Went Down to Georgia is one of the greats.

you love to think of yourself as...
in fact, you just love thinking about yourself, don't you puggieporky?

But its sad how you think you are a great "mind games man" etc, when ALL of you done on CC is toget EVERYONE (wumpy your son or neighbour or whatever he is, just doesn't count) to think you are an utter...
I know I am "into music" -and i really dont give a shit whether you believe that or not.
