Venom - Welcome to Hell

Nice!

The video doesn't do the song justice. What's with the strange head shot, the cameraman was too lazy to lift it up at a different angle?

Nice song though.

What can I say...I'm a complicated guy

Not a video band eh?

The Smiths Queen is Dead (shocking ommission!) Heaven Up Here Echo and the Bunnymen Man Machine Kraftwerk London Calling The Clash Kind of Blue Miles Davis A Love Supreme John Coltrane Revolver The Beatles The Stone Roses The Stone Roses Hunky Dory David Bowie Remain in Light Talking Heads Music for Airports Brian Eno Midnight Vultures Beck What's Going on Marvin Gaye Inspiration Information Shuggy Otis Exodus Bob Marley Pills n Thrills Happy Mondays Setting Sons The Jam Sound Affects The Jam

A few too many "best of"s on your list methinks. Get into the nitty gritty old chap!

In no particular order and all I had time for my slow fingers to type this morning... Can think of loads more, but I can't be arsed to type

EdelBrock wrote: Not a video band eh?

Mid-eighties small label video more like...

personal taste is personal taste so it's up to you but the best of new order in there & not substance which has fuller versions of the non album singles?

of course i can't see how you cam miss out many albums by bands including throwing muses, julian cope, ladytron, bluetones, arcade fire, kate bush, leftfield, martin grech, ride, belle & sebastien, billy bragg, the beta band, vlondie, device, delgado's, elvis costello, the chemical brothers, brendan benson, massive attack, stars, sigur ross, spoon, teardrop explodes & so on

ummm...you didn't happen to notice that Substance is actually top of the list?

Main reason none of those artists are in there is because I haven't heard any of thier albums. Can't rate what I don't know.

But there are a few in there I simply don't care for, like Belle & Sebastian, elis costello, massive attack....just not my cup o' tea. -sorry-

Thanks for the list! The Queen is dead was one I was on the fence over, but last minute decided not to put in there, other Smiths I was on the fence over was the world won't listen,and the debut album. A few of those I'll have to try. I'm starting to like "best of" recently, since my album collection has reached over 800, I can't be arsed with sub-level filler. Plus I've noticed that if I get a sub-par album, its starting to ruin the flavour for the other albums the bands have made....so I'm more hesitant to get an unknown band than I used to be. Plus, all top album lists don't include gems like Substance, Story of the Clash, Legend, that are simple 'must haves' for cd collections.

don;t get the smiths first one - the production isn;t up to much - look out for the bootleg called the troy tate sessions, same songs plus one & sounds much better

a list of 10 quality albums that nobody else will like:

pearl jam - ten metallica - ride the lightning alice in chains - jar of flies nine inch nails - the downward spiral smashing pumpkins - mellon collie and the infinite sadness silverchair - frogstomp candlebox - candlebox pixies - doolittle dinosaur jr - where you been red hot chili peppers - californication

I don't know about that, some of those where in my list: Pearl Jam - Ten Alice in Chaions - Jar of Flies NIN - Downward Spiral

Candlebox has three great songs on it, but the rest is subpar SP - MCIS - I don't think aged very well RHCP - bloodsugarsexmagik was so much better, and only shows how californication is revival of that album (but with more pop influence)

not the pixies. This is the top pixies album.

Watch this. Outstanding.

and #166- Hootie and the blowfish

Which I've affectionately nicknamed Hooters and the Blowjob, if only my list added another cd, the shame!

Put this on this page so your typing isn't wasted, as it wouldn't go to your thread since it was on the 1st page.

Thanks for the list

Though I have to say not sure I'm one for the 80's metal

Not a bad list Edel, but two Cake albums? I know, personal tastes, etc. but they're a very poor man's Camper Van Beethoven at best, what with all of the 'wacky' and 'ironic' lyrics plus deadpan vocal delivery.

Actually I don't know why I put in Fashion Nugget....guess it was the vodka talking to me that night???

But Motorcade will always be a favorite (even though the production volume is set on super low)...

By the way, Mira is a shoegazer goth band from Tallahassee. In my opinion they're my favorite local band [as we're from the state of Florida :D]. And they're all just cool.

Anima, your avi just reminded me--I should've added 'Fever to Tell' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!!!

Sunshine, Good list (though there are few in there)

Friendly advice: lose the Clash singles and get the Story of....much better versions and Disc 1 is unbelievable.

whoa- barney is getting fatter and fatter everytime i see him...

i can't believe nobody put barnes & barnes' fishheads as one the best ever... a true work of genius...

Thank God it's not just me... Have you heard the follow up they did a few years later, Laughing Stock? It's like a companion piece but using much more of a structured technique and more acoustic instruments... Similar format of long songs, obscure lyrics, drawn out melodies and arrangements. :D

Hair metal is shite but the thrash stuff is great.
