well - with NME putting GR at no1 in this year's album charts, I think it's time to redress the balance. What are everyone's top 10 albums of 2001?

6 Dec 2001, 14:41

Freudian slip - that should read NO 31 of course!!!!

6 Dec 2001, 16:51

...my top-albums of 2001 ???

...i think it has to be "the only albums i did not sell on E-Bay again after several listening sessions"

New Order "Get Ready" (obviously)
Ride "OX4 - The Best Of..."
The Cure "Greatest Hits" 2-CD
Radiohead "I might be wrong (live recordings)"
Smashing Pumpkins "Rotten Apples" 2-CD
Unkle "Psyence Fiction"
Inspiral Carpets "The Singles"
Gorillaz "dto."

That's it i guess...cheers ;)

Actually, Beavis - Shug is a very very feeble specimen indeed. His only accessory to eloquence (in his own mind of course) is to consume vast quantities of HP Sauce first - that helps him to articulate. Without it, the bastard is a complete and utter dodo.

Are you trying to say I don't slag you down when I'm sober - WANKFACE?

12 Dec 2001, 20:11

No - only that you're not as "eloquent" when you're not on the juice (and you're not exactly that "eloquent" when you'reON it for that matter) Happy now? ARSE BISCUIT??? :D

12 Dec 2001, 20:20

Marty - I'm on the juice now - and I find myself more and more in incoherrant - when I'm off the juice I still find myself funny as fuck...It's just the way I am.......or are you trying to say I should drink more often :lol:

12 Dec 2001, 20:22

Or is it you just like the slanging matches? I don't abuse you half as much when I'm sober...or do I? :lol: :evil:

13 Dec 2001, 14:42

I fucking swear, you two ARE related!!!!!!!!!!

13 Dec 2001, 14:51

Beavis, do you have to swear so much? some people on the forums don't like offensive language. now, where did i place my bible..........

13 Dec 2001, 14:58

Well...

I do have a rather limited vocabulary, I think I'm up to about 15 words now...and most of those are of the vulgar variety...

I should have been a G** D****** sailor...

:lol:

Jesus, I am an ignorant twat
