Top Ten Albums


Time Machine

Recommended Posts

Alright folks, so what's yer top ten albums? Yeah, yeah, I know, it's a bit of a cliche and has probably been done hundreds of times before, but hey, who gives a flying you-know- what! I think most folk change their minds by the day, and it's an interesting way of finding out what's been floating everyone's boats!! And an interesting method of ripping the sh*t out of my choices!! For what it's worth, here's mine! (They don't have to be in order!!!!!)

1. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

2. Definitely Maybe - Oasis

3. Exile On Main St - The Rolling Stones

4. The Queen Is Dead - The Smiths

5. Forever Changes - Love

6. Abbey Road - The Beatles

7. Loaded - The Velvet Underground

8. Nowhere - Ride

9. Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out) - Happy Mondays

10. Rust Never Sleeps (Live) - Neil Young & Crazy Horse

All great in their own way. The Mondays debut album has to be the most underrated record in my collection, it's hardly ever spoken about, but the quality of the music is unreal, particularly Paul Ryder's bass playing. So there ye have it! Answers on a postcard...

well why not?

i think it gives more variety as to what you like as a music listener if you answer that way plus its more interesting seeing what album by an artist you prefer you know? it also makes it tough.

these reasons good enough?

Fuck me, I must have overlooked the unwritten top ten list decorum that doesn't allow two Nick Cave records. It's top ten albums, not top ten favourite artists. So fuck ma boots.
