NMEs Top 10 Albums of all time

Re: Re: Re: NMEs Top 10 Albums of all time

I loved the Black Grape album, but was it really better that the Monday's Pills, Thrills....?

Surely not.

Tough call, has to be said. But I reckon Black Grape just edge it, because after the Mondays blew-up, and Shaun Ryder had been written off as a terminal case, the sheer *cough* BOUNCEBACKABILITY of the boy with It’s Great When You’re Straight Yeah was a bit special aye? A classic album out of a clear blue sky

No particular order - British Bands/Artists

Floyd - Wish You were here
Led Zep 1
Beatles - White Album
Who -Who's Next
Keane - ( are they British?)
Stones - Exile on Main St
Van the Man- St Dominic's Preview
Cream - Disraeli Gears
Wishbone Ash - Argus
Genesis -Selling England by the pound

 

[El Presidente]

The NME has and will always be a bag of wank.

I think your choices are influenced by the age you were when the albums came out, mine would be

1. Closer: Joy Division
2. The Smiths: The Smiths
3. Pornography: The Cure
4. Script of the Bridge: The Chameleons
5. Setting Sons: The Jam
6: The Stone Roses: The Stone Roses
7: Radiohead: OK Computer
8: Movement: New Order
9: Nowhere: Ride
10: So: Peter Gabriel

Two songs stand out on that album for me -

1. Shake Your Money is sheer quality
2. A Big Day in the North was the song i was singing on the way to the York "riot" game. Shaun Ryder is always a suitable soundtrack to public disorder

At last,some sense seeping into the thread.Don't forget Ride-Nowhere.

It was gonna be in there but just missed out.

I noticed they are releaseing the Ride back catalogue digitally remastered next month as well as a best of.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I was thinking about this in bed last night ad I feel Roni Size/Reprazent - New Forms deserves a mention.

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
The Kinks - Arthur or the decline and fall of the British Empire
Blur - Parklife
The Beatles - Revolver
Supergrass - I should Coco

Blur - Parklife
The Beatles - Revolver
Nirvana - Nevermind

[Gwylan]

In no order:

Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust etc... - David Bowie
Entertainment - Gang of Four
Playing with a Different Sex - Au Pairs
Even Serpents Shine - The Only Ones
House of Love - The House of Love (the first album)
Pink Flag - Wire
Jellied Eels to Record Deals... - The (Leyton) Buzzards

That's not a bad call: Pink Flag and Entertainment would certainly be in mine. Prefer Low to Ziggy as a Bowie album
But no Rip, Rig and Panic?

Discuss.

Personally I agree with number one but thats about it.

this is possibly the most outrageous list i have EVER seen and shows, yet again, that the NME have no real knowledge or passion for decent music. Simply a Top Of The Pops on tight trousers.

no Bowie?
no Who?
no Stones?
no Specials?
no Super Furries (blatatantly the best British band of the last 10 years)
no Massive Attack?

no f***ing soul
no dance

pile of shit.

[Trufflehound]

no Rip, Rig and Panic?
