personally think his best two albums are 'Blue Moves' & 'Honky Chateau'

Scarily, so was mine (from the record shop on Upper Kirkgate, the name of which escapes me right now). Think I redeemed myself a little bit with my next purchases - Thin Lizzy "Live and Dangerous" and the Stranglers "Rattus Norvegicus".

Too pee'd off to think about rugby right now, so current all time favourite top 10, in no particluar order, is:

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
The Who - Live at Leeds (I "don't get" The Who, but this album seriously kicks A)
Bob Marley - Natty Dread
Misty in Roots - Live at the Counter Eurovision
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
Pink Floyd - Echoes
The Doors - LA Woman
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Boll*ocks (can't believe I had to manipulate the swear filter for that one.... I'll ban myself

)

The Jam - Setting Sons
The Clash - London Calling
Dexys - Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
The Specials debut album
Squeeze - East Side Story
Aztec Camera -High Land Hard Rain
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
Stone Roses debut album
REM -Green
Blur - Parklife
Paul Weller - WildWood
Teenage Fanclub - Grand Prix
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call

How could I forget The Pogues - Rum Sodomy and the Lash and If I Should Fall from Grace with God!

Probably the best live album ever, would have loved to have seen them at their height.

Queen II is the best album ever, no need to worry about any others, they are fighting for 2nd

Did you rip that off from Kyassors Kompost Korner cos thats well funny!

Live clips of that gig are kind of scary. The only stand-alone Who track for mine is Baba O'Riley, which is class. Otherwise, everything they ever did that was any good is on the live album. In my humble opinion, of course... except for that "Real Me" track on Quadrophenia, which is also class...

Wont get fooled again, 5:15 just for the best damn bass playing you will ever hear. 2 of my faves.

A quick one while hes away from Live at Leeds is just magic. Thats tonights listening sorted, thank you RR.

depends what kind of music you're talking about

Live at Leeds is ok (I still have the original LP with all the paperwork etc somewhere in the garage,but Quo live is great and Uriah Heep Live too though probably my fave live album is Deep Purple 'Made in Japan'

re - seeing bands live - probably the best for me has to be Floyd in the mid 70s with Dark Side of the Moon,Bowie in the Ziggy Stardust era,Quo who were great rockers,Alice Cooper with a great stage show and beleive it or not BJH whose live music was as good in quality as any studio album,amazing sound reproduction on stage.There must be more tangled up with the grey matter................

Missed it off my list, quality album

Live and Dangerous - Thin Lizzy.

Proper music with guitars and drums, none of this electronic music , hip hop, house, garage, rap, dance cr*p

my theory on music entirely.

Arctic Monkeys- Whatever People Say I Am, Thats What Im Not
Biffy Clyro- Puzzle
Biffy Clyro- Blackened Sky
Eminem- Curtain Call (Greatest Hits)
Kings Of Leon- Because Of The Times
Madina Lake- Attics To Eden
Nickelback- Dark Horse
Nickelback- All The Right Reasons
Oasis- Whats The Story (Morning Glory)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers- Stadium Arcadium
The Beatles- Sargent Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band
The Killers- Hot Fuss
The Red Jumpsuit Aparatus- Don't You Fake It

I'm a Quins fan and havent come on here to gloat. But after yesterdays victory I've been enjoying Lost Horizoins by Lemmon Jelly - Spacewalk is a classic track.

Other than that I will always buy stuff by Graham Parker, Canned Heat, John Melencamp & Jackie Leven

Tough, really tough! With 1316 albums on my MP3, how do you pick just 10?

I'll have a go, but will probably think of more later....

Def Leppard - Pyromania (even had the perm!!!)
AC/DC - Let there be Rock
REM - Lifes Rich Pageant
Rush - Moving Pictures
Marillion - Script for a Jesters Tear
Scorpions - Animal Magnetism
Van Halen - Fair Warning
UFO - The Wild, The Willing and the Innocent
Saga - Worlds Apart
Radiohead - OK Computer
Live - The Distance to Here
John Cougar Mellencamp - Uh Huh

That's 12 - and I've missed off far too many - I wanted Kate Bush (literally) but couldn't pick an album. As it is I stuck with one album per artist - which meant I missed off Back in Black - herassy!

no further argument needed!

As live albums go, I love Paul Weller's Live Wood - really loose, great sound, great songs. Westworld's In The Flesh is also fantastic, very raw recording and Tony Harnell kicks absolute ass.

musical question :

which song title links The Beatles,Uriah Heep and Status Quo ?

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Black Sabbath - Masterr of Reality
Black Sabbath - Vol 4
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
etc.
etc.

oh and

Led Zep - Physical Graffitti
