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

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

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.

No problem for the list... It's all very personal compliling lists like these and obviously it would be a boring world if we all like d the same stuff (as my nana is wont to say)... have to say I might pick up on a few suggestions that people have posted on here

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.

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.
