Are you MENTAL?

Screamadelica is one of the greatest albums mankind has ever produced

Any album with LOADED and MOVIN' ON UP on it is worth £3 of anyone's money.

Theres a damn good chance yes....! As i said its a matter of taste. Im only too willing to admit that mine is.........well not the normal. So thats why i said its a matter of taste fella, Therefore i respect other peoples taste,even if its not mine. I never said it was poop

It was a joke that Bang and Popscene weren't on the Blur best of. I'd chuck in Dan Abnormal, Advert and Coping as well. But Bang wins for the video.

'Best Of's' exist for two types of people, the lazy who aren't really into a band and only want the songs they've heard of and the people who have heard the songs and use the compilations as a way in to explore a band further. HSH seems to be in the second catagory, so deserves the recommendations and not the snobbery.

Thankyou. I have that problem where I have so many best of albums and absolutely love them, but then miss out on a lot of good songs.

 

[medicine man]

The Smiths....I'd say everything, bar Meat is Murder (track)- it just grates a little.
The Cure Faith, Pornography, Three Little Boys, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Head on The Door, Disintegration (can't wait for the Re-issue, remastered, extra tracks, THAT Encore live album in full *salivates*. Even if 80% of it is intro, I love it!) and Shake Dog Shake off The Top.

I would suggest never buying best-ofs for a start

Ahhh so you're a music snob as well as a beer snob

 

[brakespear]

All of 'Pornography' by The Cure. And 'Bloodflowers' too.

 

[HseagullsH]

If this chap is a NIPPER, and he's dabbling with Smiths and Cure 'Best ofs', rather than listening to Lady f***ing GaGa, then more power to him.

Having said that, my advice would be to nip to HMV, where you can currently buy EVERY one of the Smiths studio albums on CD for THREE POUNDS each. Then listen at your leisure. No point whatsoever asking anyone, even HUGE Smiths fans, what the 'best' tracks are. The best ones are your own favourites, nowt else.

I am 18 in case you wondered..

I have downloaded some Blur tracks; Chemical World, Stereotypes, Out of Time, Sunday Sunday, Popscene and all seem good songs.

I am going to follow up the advice and buy the Smiths albums. Might do the same with the Cure.

Thanks to NSC

While on the subject of fav B sides, check out Innocent Man by the Jam, cracking B side, a rarity, written by Bruce Foxton not Weller.
