Top Ten Albums/Songs/Artists

[Jim_Campbell]

"God have I really gotta pick just 10? Whatabout Nirvana, the Cult, Pixies, Sex Pistols, Iggy, The Smiths, Swans, Julian Cope, etc, etc, etc... "

It's a bitch, innit? So many almost made it, although I'd like to make an impassioned plea to be allowed 11 just to get in Shriekback's "Oil and Gold"  ... or Jesus & Mary Chain's "Darklands" ... or ... GAAH!

Cheers

Jim

May I just say how dissapointed I am in all of you that - as far as I can see - not *one* person put the Smashing Pumpkins in their lists.  The credibility of this forum is thus destroyed.  Go and buy Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness NOW, and awake to the realisation that your ears have been starved of adequate stimulation all this time.

I would also have liked to have seen a little more representation by Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, and I feel - given the rawk stance of 2000AD - that there's a distinct lack of big nasty metal bands of a MachineHead/Pantera nature.

What else should be in there...  huumm.

Counting Crows - August and Everything After
Days of the New (eponymous)
Metallica - S&M
Tool - Aenima.
Cold (eponymous)
Deftones - White Pony.

Okay, in no particular order,

Wanted : Dredd or Alive,
Down to Earth,
Death Trap,

I joke of course.

My real favourites are, in no particular order, ans limiting myself to one album per artist -

Divine Comedy - Promenade.
Crash Test Dummies - These ghosts that haunt me.
Beautiful South - 0898.
Dolly Parton - Little Sparrow.
Bing Crosby - The Quintesential.
Elvis Presley - How great thou art.
Glenn Miller - In the Mood.
Spice Girls - Spice.
Burt Bacharach - The Look of love.

and my absolute favouritest ever album -

Pet Shop Boys - Very.

You can start taking the piss whenever you are ready.

considering the average age of the 1977 i own the first prog gang,. i think there are some missing bands not noted in anyones lists, going for cred as opposed to honesty,
only i and logan put in adam and the ants, superb album kings was, where are the duran duran followers? come on your out there, human league, stop denying it, you own them on CD, bought years later to put in your collection and listen to now and then when no one else is home.
stop going for cred lets see the honesty, though it takes guts to put spice girls on the list i must admit.

DD the first album I ever bought was Kings if the Wild Frontier.  Yes I am that old.  My first single was {gulp} Joe Dolci's Shaddupa yer face and Rainbow since youve been gone, bit if which where number one around that time.  

It was around this point that a bloke living underneath me introduced me to the sounds of the sex pistols et al and Ive never wanted to buy another poppy sad record again.  Thank You James!

right here we go - this is always so hard!
been some great choices so far, and here's mine!

exile on main street - rolling stones
blonde on blonde - bob dylan
toys in the attic - aerosmith
young,gifted & black - aretha franklin
tom petty - tom petty (obviously!)
electric ladyland - jimi hendrix
the wild,the inoccent&the e street shuffle - bruce springsteen

[2000AD Online]

In no particular order . . . As if I'm actually gonna offend someone:

i, Grapes of Wrath / Spear of Destiny
ii, The Wall / Pink Floyd
iii, The Inimitable . . . / George Formby
iv, First Down! / Crazy Pink Revolvers
v, Anything instrumental
vi, '70s / '80s compilations
vii, Um.
viii, Is that ten yet?
ix, No?
x, How about: Damn You, Slippery Jim / The Indecisive Mr. Whit

Maybe it's just as well I don't have a Profile Page. . .

And hey! Kings of the Wild Frontier was my first album, too! Um, that is if I don't include Father Abrahams in Smurfland. But Driving In My Car was definitely my first single.

As for my favourite single? I Don't Like Mondays. Probably the only song I have any intellectual connection to.

Goodbye!

[Mudcrab]

Cool! that was my first album too, although technically it wasn't cos I bought the casette off my sister when she didn't like them anymore. First actual album I bought was Number of the Beast. Classic album though, KOTWF, even got it on mp3 right here (place of work, that is)

[Slippery PD]

OK I know wakes Idea is better.  But Ive recounted till this point and the scores on the doors are:

1. The Smiths/David Bowie
2. Black Sabbath/Gorrilaz
3. Primal Scream/Dead Kennedys/Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds/the Jam

This shows, well not a lot.  Appart from Roxilla's idead that we liked Dance Music was a bad one.  It lloks like a Rock/Indie Axis has formed.  

PS - This count may be wrong and a recount may be needed/ignored as my circumstances feel fit.

Slippo AKA Royal Sychopohant AKA Chief Vite counter

Oh can we have an edit or spell checking facility??  I cant type very well......

[Tiplodocus]

So there's no A-Ha or Wham! fans hang around on the site then?

Mr Warren Ellis recently supplied the following link with one of his email newsletters, which  relates to one of the bands on my list and made me squirt tea down my nose.

(Its proving to be a hazardous morning. I suffered a similar accident on reading Mr Spurriers comments regarding GIs and black holes)
