Only 7 posts to get Marquee Moon, not bad.

Surprised either Boston or Frampton haven't appeared considering the obvious demographic.

Someone's said above " an album you listen to all the way through without skipping tracks" and although I rarely dig it out I always think Jesus I enjoyed that afterwards.

Similarly, Teardrop Explodes Kilimanjaro

Mine was the B Side of Honky Tonk Woman....you can't always get what you want.

"This Boy", the b side of "I wanna hold your hand," by the Beatles, what a great song.

tim_noone wrote:Mine was the B Side of Honky Tonk Woman....you can't always get what you want.

Didn't realise that was a B-side. Most of today's bands would give their right arm to write a song so good.

A fine song indeed. A 3 part harmony with Mr Lennon at his melancholy best.

The Clash: The Clash
The Clash: Give em enough rope
The Clash: London Calling
The Clash: Sandinista
The Clash: Combat Rock

.

Songs from the big chair - Tears for Fears
White Ladder - David Gray
Foundation - Ten city
Stankonia - Outkast
Lauryn Hill - The miseducation of Lauryn Hill

The fact that this thread has got this far and no one has put; OK Computer - Radiohead; is frankly criminal.

On the subject of best b-sides: We Can Work It Out was actually far better than Day Tripper.

Or is it? I'm a huge Radiohead fan and I have to say I think "The Bends" is massively superior.

Fantastic!! Pretty sure a new album is coming this year

Dyched wrote:Lennons vocals are sublime on Rain

100%. Peak Lennon.

Both my names sakes are at their best too. Ringo's drumming is fabulous he's all over that kit. and McCartneys bass line is majestic.

For all those unaware of what we're banging on about-

https://youtu.be/cK5G8fPmWeA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

By a strange coincidence, both these released in 1979 with similar titles, both completely amazing -
Live at the Witch Trials - The Fall
Live at the counter Eurovision 79 - Misty in Roots

When I gave mine a few days ago I didn't really consider anything too modern because , I mean, to be Classic you have to stand the test of time right?

Such an incredibly pleasurable post.

Youve got The Strokes on here (probably a check mark) Stone Roses (check mark) which in their own way broke ground.

So I was thinking about other stuff that might count. Sinead's Lion and the Cobra? The Killers first album? Martin L Gore's Counterfeit? Ride. Literally any of the Cocteaus early EPs that got combined into an album? Almost all Dead Can Dances albums. Misfits albums. Durutti Column albums.

And then there's all the newer stuff we personally think will be classic? Zola Jesus Stridulum. Tr/st. Weeknight. Literally anything by anyone in this new darkwave genre.

Music, eh? Bloody hell.

I'll give you that, didn't see your post.

Also came second with the tickets for the Ritz, sold out by the time I heard about it.

A friend of mine had a spare ticket for their gig at Gorilla, manchester in April. I had to turn it down due to family commitments. Gutted, so got the tickets for the Ritz back then. Managed to get a 1st edition copy of Dogrel on yellow vinyl , which has sold out now. It's a copy the band signed on record store day. They're currently going for £50 on Ebay.

Well, I respect you have an opinion.

I'm not ancient, I merely have longevity.

For anybody interested, it's 40 years since Joy Division released Unknown Pleasures on Factory records.

Mary Anne Hobbs is doing an indepth look at the making of the album on her Radio 6 show this coming Friday

It was recorded on equipment made by "AMS of Burnley, Lancashire, England" as Tony Wilson said !

I'm amazed there are no soul albums other than Whats Going On and Chartbusters 3. Where's Otis Blue, Aretha, Ben E King, James Brown and almost unbelievable, not one of Stevie Wonder's albums are included.
Earth Wind and Fire, Luther Vandross, Sam Cooke, Michael Jackson...bit surprised to say the least.
