During the past few months I've suddenly developed a taste for Krautrock (early 70's German electronica/experimentalism). In particular Tangerine Dream and a band called Neu!. The first four albums of T.Dream in particular are like nothing else on earth. Just this afternoon was listening to an album of their's called Zeit (apparently German for time). It's basically four 20 minute slabs of static soundscapes in which absolutely nothing happens. It's the kind of music for which the phrase "a selective audience" was made. It wouldn't be everyones cup of tea (to put it mildly) and it's hardly music to jump around the room to, but it has grapped my attention in a way I can't explain (as Pete Townsend once said).

Oasis should've split up the moment they walked off the stage at Knebworth (Aug 96) instead of spending the next 13 years offering up re-heated leftovers.

If they'd done that they would be talked about in the same breath as the Pistols today as one of Britain's iconic bands. I get the feeling that even Noel Gallagher is partly of that opinion today.

It's a bit of a coin toss with me in regards to JD's two albums. I have a marginal preference for Unknown Pleasures but I love both albums to bits.

There is just an eerie, skeletel feel to UP which makes it timeless in my eyes. It's the sound of late 70's Britain in a nutshell. Damp,rotting and decaying as the Victorian industrial revolution came to a crashing halt bringing down the North of England with it.

I love Closer almost as much, but it's difficult to separate the music contained within from the personal situation which occured in the immediate aftermath of its recording (even now, 32 years after the event), particulary when listening to side 2.

They are both immense artistic statements however, made by bloody-minded people, the like of which would probably be nigh on impossible to make today.

Side 2 is a depressing listen and you have to wonder what was going through all their minds to come up with that.

Kudos to Factory too for allowing it to be made. Unlikely that we'd see anything like theses days

Jeez, good thread, but a tougher task than finding a decent half back for next season - here's a few that initially sprang to mind:

U2 - Boy
Joy Division - Closer
The Cramps -Smell of Female
Psychedlic Furs - Forever Now
The Cult - Dreamtime
The Smiths - The Smiths
Bauhaus - Burning From The Inside

Bluetones - Expecting to Fly
Ash - 1977
Shed Seven - A Maximum High
Verve - Urban Hymns
Coldplay - Parachutes

Can't believe nobody has given a shout to Primal Scream's - Screamadelica!
A true masterpiece and a defining album of its time.
