Hmmmmmmmmmmm…the four sides from YES; "Tales of Topographic Oceans" (76 mins) apart, I’d go for this little bargain bucket of classic gems.
1. Black Sabbath; "Black Sabbath"<br>2. Judas Priest; "Beyond The Realms of Death"<br>3. System of a Down; "Chop Suey"<br>4. Sex Pistols; "Pretty Vacant"<br>5. Deep Purple; "Black Night"<br>6.

That lot will keep the neighbours awake!:biggrin: <br>
Beatles – Tomorrow Never Knows<br>MSP – Faster<br>MSP – Motorcycle Emptiness<br>Pixies – Monkey Gone To Heaven<br>Velvet Underground – All Tomorrow’s Parties<br>Sonic Youth – Teen Age Riot (probably my fave. song ever)<br>Sonic Youth – Skitzophrenia <br>My Bloody Valentine – SueIsFine<br>My Bloody Valentine – Swallow<br>My Bloody Valentine – To Here Knows When<br>My Bloody Valentine – Never Say Goodbye<br>Neil Young – Ambulance Blues (probably my fave. artist)<br>Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Y Control<br>Public Enemy – Shut Em Down<br>Bjork – Big Time Sensuality<br>Bjork – 5 Years (I love most of Homogenic)<br>Kate Bush – Cloudbusting
With my nearly rational, balanced head on, weighing up the pros and cons:
1 Metal Mickey Suede<br>2 Film Star Suede<br>3 Twisterella Ride<br>4 Coffee and TV Blur<br>5 Prince Charming Adam and the Ants<br>6 Frankly Mr Shankly Smiths<br>7 Only Shallow My Bloody Valentine<br>8 Kinky Afro Happy Mondays<br>9 Sheriff Fatman Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine<br>10 Liquidator Harry J Allstars<br>11 Creep Radiohead<br>12 Just Radiohead<br>13 Got my Mojo Working Muddy Waters<br>14 Embarrassment Madness<br>15 October Swimmer JJ72<br>16 Voodoo Chile Jimi Hendrix<br>17 The Wind Cries Mary Jimi Hendrix<br>18 Size of a Cow Wonderstuff<br>19 Sympathy for the Devil Stones<br>20 I am the Resurrection Stone Roses<br>21 The Only One Charlatans<br>22 Cum on Feel the Noize Slade<br>23 Richard III Supergrass<br>24 Songs of Love Divine Comedy
However, I had to remove about 20 songs from this list on the grounds that it may appear a little obsessive and I couldn’t choose between them
1. Motorcycle Emptiness Manics<br>2. You Love Us er….Manics<br>3. Theme from MASH etc.<br>4. Love’s Sweet Exile<br>5. Sleepflower<br>6. La Tristessa Durera<br>7. Faster<br>8. She is Suffering<br>9. If You Tolerate This, Then your Children Will Be Next<br>10. You Stole The Sun From My Heart<br>11. Everything Must Go<br>12. Gold Against The Soul<br>13. Die in the Summertime<br>14. Slash N Burn<br>15. NatwestBarclaysMidlandsLloyds<br>16. New Art Riot<br>17. Yourself<br>18. Small Black Flowers That Grow in the Sky<br>19. A Design For Life<br>20. Another Invented Disease<br>
<br>… but surely Aranalde, Judge Yrself is more worthy of a place on the list than You Stole The Sun…!
I’m suprised at the numbers of people who like ‘alternative’ rock. For some reason, I imagined that everyone would only listen to that traditional Irish folk music you hear at every outdoor market (Foster And Allen, etc).
I could honestly make about five CDs, and enjoy everyone equally. I can already think of around a hundred songs I should have included in my first post (Solisbury Hill, Genius Of Love, nearly all of Nirvana’s In Utero bar the singles, and on, and on, etc).<br>
Possibly you’re right, judged objectively, but these are the songs that mean the most to me and for personal reasons, <br>’You Stole The Sun’ has more impact on me. But when I finally get an IPOD, there will be room enough for every single song they wrote, with the possible exception of ‘Damn Dog’
Try this for size……
1 End Of An Odyssey – Eloy<br>2 Supper’s Ready – Genesis<br>3 Pilgrim – After The Fire<br>4 Thick As A Brick (Side 1) – Jethro Tull<br>5 Forgotten Sons – Marillion<br>6 Dogs – Pink Floyd<br>7 2112 – Rush<br>8 Awaken – Yes<br>9 Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) – Pink Floyd  <br>10 The Musical Box – Genesis<br>11 Script for a Jester’s Tear – Marillion<br>12 Now That I’ve Found – After The Fire<br>13 The Gates Of Delirium – Yes<br>14 Way Of The World – Wishbone Ash<br>15 A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers – Van Der Graaf Generator<br>16 Man-Erg – Van Der Graaf Generator<br>17 Lady Fantasy – Camel<br>18 Starless – King Crimson<br>19 Close to The Edge – Yes<br>20 Firth Of Fifth – Genesis
Only touble is, you’d need a CD with a 4 hour recording capacity!
