I'll look at this list another time and probably hate it, but these are the records I can think of at the moment.
Awesome selection! Bar the Manics!
Love Babyshamble's Fuck Forever - a real grower...
My 5:
Dylan - Blood on the Tracks.
Oasis - Definitely Maybe. Teenage dreams! Sound track to drinkin cider down the park!
Bowie - Ziggy "Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe, put your ray gun to my head"
Stooges - Raw Power
Libertines - Up the Bracket - - can't believe this came out so long ago Oct 2002!

Hi Zeeta!
Yeah, I suppose it isn't a bad selection. There are so many great albums out there; it really is hard to choose!
I think you're very disillusioned about the Manics. The Holy Bible is a masterpiece! The If You Tolerate This wank came a few years later!

Yo Honky!
Yeah I find the Manics a lil' depressing. I have Generation Terrorists and I can't tolerate that let alone If You Tolerate this wank!
Anthony & the Johnsons Mercury Music Award winners? Don't get him at all?!

MOTORCYCLE EMPTINESS: This song has to be in my top-twenty of all time.
I had the Kasier Cheifs down to win the Mercury Music thing. Anyway, thankfully Coldplay didn't win and that's all that matters to me! |

the more I listen to Bigger Bang, the more I think its one of the better non-stones albums
Bang is definately one of Micks best solo albums. |

By the way, I'm not familiar with Kings Of Leon! If you dig them they're probably someone I should check out.
I would only recommend checking them out if you like your rock to rawk.
they're strictly 3 chords and a pile of dust, straight forward R&R. The singer is horrible and slurs all the hedonistic lyrics like a young Jagger and the geetars pound out no thrills Some Girls-esque riffs.
think Jivin Sister Fanny, Whip, Turd, Lies, Summer Romance.
Factory Girl could give you a better description of them though. But check em out. Holy Roller Novacaine & Happy Alone are two songs that the Stones should be making now. HRN is the best rock song since Remedy. |

I'd say 3/4's is Goddess garbage. The other 1/4 kicks ass. Songs like RJ, It Wont Take Long, BOMH sound like the Stones.
RFD, SOL, Sweet NeoCon, LWTCDI, Biggest Mistake, SSMC etc sound like solo Mick. Not a trace of Keith on there.

Very interesting reading this thread. So much music. Good one, Starbie.
The Who - Who's Next
The Who - Quadrophenia (it blows doors!)
Clash - London Calling
Velvet Underground - Loaded
Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps
Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies
Nirvana - Nevermind
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On?
Marley - Uprising
Sly - Stand!
Five of that ten is the best next to the Stones' five best. Or something like that. |

moonie, do you really think that highly of nirvana? i've never really been a fan but have secretly enjoyed them at a distance. i do think they were one of the most influential bands of the last 15 years or so.
if anyone's keeping tabs, my five for today would be:
1. dead: workingman's dead or american beauty
2. matthew sweet: girlfriend
3. tom waits: closing time
4. dylan: desire, freewheelin, or BOTT
5. beatles: white album, rubber soul
tomorrow's would probably be:
1. VU: loaded
2. uncle tupelo: anodyne
3. johnny cash: solitary man
4. bowie: ziggy
5. beatles: sgt pepper, abbey road |

If there is anybody out there who hasnt listened to The Squeeze before, they should really try it out. They were a band formed in the early seventies. They hit it big in the late seventies and mid eighties. The reason Im posting this is because Im not sure how well known they are in the US and they have lots of stuff worth listening to.
Some tracks to download...
Up the Junction
Cool For Cats
Pulling Muscles
Annie Get Your Gun
Tempted
All great songs, give them a try |

I've always preferred "Moondance" to "Astral Weeks", thats why..in fact I probably prefer "Beautiful Vision" to them both...
and yeah, we whipped 'em and I have no voice left (hopefully it'll recover for the Rollin Clones on Saturday)...but fingers crossed for the cricket... |

Voodoo Scrounge!!
And, "What the butler saw" - its from Cool for Cats lp i think. Brilliant! They were amazing. Jules Holland - legend. The drummer - Very Charlie Watts. The 2 song writers were compared to Lennon/McCartney - and i 100% agree. Very English, and maybe too English to translate to world wide audience.
UP the junction is superb song writing.
Pulling muscles from a shell - amazing
Tempted - Perfect pop. Produced by Elvis Costello, no less.
Their "Cosi fan tutti" lp is great. They wrote a song about the HIllsborough soccer fire - great stuff
"Trust me to open my mouth" is genius pop!
And the song that has the line "She pulls the top of her old whisky bottle"....brilliant!
Over here, "Cool for cats" was there only hit. They are known as a 1 hit wonder. Yet, "Tempted" was, and still is, played quite often. Wasnt Paul Carrick on vocals for that tune? Man, such a great song. Couldnt get it out of my head for ages. And, listen closely at the end of that song. Something is whispered. It;s laid deep in the mix. Sound like "Ludwig" or something. Listen closely!
Of course, us Poms and Aussies know Jules Holland very well for his music show. But, in the early-mid 80's, he had his own series of docos. Maybe most famous for interviewing U2 during the making of "Unforgettable Fire" - recorded in a light house. But, most relevant to us, he was also at the Paris sessions for "Undercover". I recall him sitting in the back seat of a car being driven by Mick down the Champs...er, cant spell it (too many cones). ya know, where the Arche de triumphe is. Anyway, cool little shows they were.
And, make no mistake. Jules Holland is a Stones maniac! Also, he did a fantastic blues special once. I have it taped. He's trawling the South of U.S. Even meets Fats Domino, and has a boogie-woogie lesson! Thats something thats sort of relevant, post New Orleans disappearing. Also, the drummer was in the show. Man, it was great. Just makes you want to travel to the deep south. He was in Bourbon St too! Jules hires and drives the most beat up convertible you've ever seen, and the car slowly gets trashed.
All the major influences are covered. Even people like Proffessor Longhair! Dont believe the hype - The blues will never die. It cant. It's too damn deep. It's in the blood of every serious rocker.
if anyone wants a copy of the tape, PM me. But, please realise, i gotta find the fucking thing. And, its in PAL.
