Zoo Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'll update this sometime soon but with me being 18 the top albums in my life are those that have been pretty recently released as I can't remember back in the 90's as I was too young. 1: Gallows - Grey Britain 2: Young Guns - All Our Kings Are Dead & Bones (both albums are quality). 3: Good Charlotte - Good Morning Revival (don't particularly like Good Charlotte as people but musically this album is stunning). 4: Green Day - American Idiot (bit too commercial for me nowadays but I remember being a little kid and being blown away when they released this). 5: Simple Plan - Simple Plan 6: 30 Seconds To Mars - This Is War (could also add the previous album 'A Beautiful Lie' to the list too). 7: Hey Monday - Hold On Tight & Beneath It All EP (not a well known band and they are currently on hiatus but they're really, really good). 8: Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (One of those guilty pleasures I must admit Linkin Park for me, I hate to admit it but I love their early stuff). And of course anything by Lostprophets gets a thumbs up; most notably the new album Weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formby Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 It never ceases to amaze me how divisive musical tastes can be. Putting aside all the mods’n’rockers’ stuff ( a bit before my time), whenever the subject of favourite bands / songs comes up, there’s always that ‘ugh’ feeling in my heart when someone professes to like (plucking at random) a Tina Turner or Mariah Carey or have owned records by Genesis, Marillion, Simply Red or Simple Minds, or think the Stone Roses were any more than Simon and Garfunkel fronted by an ape, or that Oasis were any more than one decent song (Don’t Look Back in Anger). Record collections say so much about you (probably too much). There is nothing quite as distressing as flicking through someone’s CDs / MP3s and finding a Bon Jovi or Saxon or Metallica, or a Sade, or Bowie post-1980, or anything Simon Cowell spawned, or Pixie Lott. Without mentioning any groups or albums, most of the best stuff ever recorded was late sixties / early seventies. Lots of socio-cultural reasons for that. Not say that there hasn’t been interesting stuff written afterwards, but that was popular music’s hey-day and it’s been downhill ever since.

Genesis did some very decent stuff in the early days for example. Ten off the top of my head....though some for emotional reasons rather than musical (and tomorrow I'd probably come up with something completely different)... After the Goldrush-Neil Young Goodbye Yellow Brick Road- Elton John Well well said the Rocking Chair- Dean Friedman Time and Tide- Greenslade Lady Fantasy- Camel Do You see the Lights- Rab Noakes Ommadawn- Mike Oldfield Bang!- World Party Fireball- Deep Purple Remote Control-The Tubes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a diverse musical taste and with that comes having both Pixie Lott's albums in my collection. I'm anti-mass produced music that not even been written by the person that sings it but I am into people that are in the charts producing catchy music that actually write it themselves (for example; Pixie Lott).

Sacrilege to some but I think "Other Voices" is brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never even entertained the idea of it to be honest Mike, bit ignorant of me as Manzarek and Krieger were brilliant and underrated muscians... but yeah The Doors without Morrison is a bit like Queen without Mercury. It's that magic that can't be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Counting Crows is a good call....August & Everything After probably.

Don't believe I left Mott the Hoople off....All The Young Dudes (title track being by far the weakest on the album). I was thinking of Recovering the Satellites. I haven't listened to their 1st album yet. Never heard of Mott the Hoople, surprised they got away with that name sounds very rude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I didn't think I could name ten albums, I generally cherry pick the songs I like. Interpol - Turn on the bright lights Presidents of the USA - Self titled Oasis - Definitely maybe The Killers - Hot Fuzz Green Day - Dookie Muse - Showbiz The Stills - Logic Will Break Your Heart Stereophonics - Performance and Cocktails (my first ever single purchase was "just looking", I liked it that much I bought the album) Foo Fighters - Color and the shape Meat Loaf - Bat out of hell part 1 I like Bowie but don't have or could name an album. I have a 3cd collection by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formby Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Bang!- World Party On your recommendation, Mike, and because I'm a bit unfamiliar with WP, I gave this a chance today. Is it like today?, lyrically and musically, is one of the finest things I've ever heard. Absolutely brilliant. Playing it over and over. A touch of George H in there. Many thanks.

Nope, jus had a little listen to a few songs they've got on youtube and All The Way From Memphis is the only song I recognise.

Formby Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 May I suggest the criminally overlooked Kula Shaker? If Pets, Pigs and Astronauts and K had been written in ’72, they would be on everyone’s list of all-time classic albums. XTC’s Skylarking also deserves a mention. Oh, and Pet Sounds, too (though maybe that’s a bit obvious). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
