I never said i was a fan of all The Who's output.Some of which has been a decidedly iffy.But 'Who's next' is a superb ablum.Recorded at the peak of their powers and years ahead of its time.It is rightly in most lists of the 'greatest ever albums'

Live at Leeds is easily one of the best live album ever produced,and great sound quality considering it was recorded 30+ years ago.

Whos next - brilliant. so good my 16 year old has copied it! Baba O reilly and behind blue eyes - absolutely ace.

 

Glad to see someone else is a Love fan MK. Alone again or - favorite single of all time. Forever Changes featured in Q's 100 Greates Albums of all time as was who's next.Not converted 16 year old to that yet tho.

 

Only upset no one has mentioned the Doors yet.

Boris the spider - tremendous

 

If you've not heard of Richard Thompson you have no right to talk about guitar music.

 

You should just shoot out your lights and trade up to a Vincent 42 from an MGB GT and try the wall of death.

I'm more suprised that YOU mentioned them. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

 

Lets just say,that with The Doors,you had to be the at there time.I don't think the Doors music has aged well.I doesn't seem to apppeal to other generations,like some of the other bands we have mentioned.

Unbelievable. Get yourself a copy of Richard and Linda Thompson's 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight' usually available for about 7 pounds (the pound key doesn't work on this damn keyboard).It's brilliant. Unless of course you don't like folk that is.

I will see if I can 'obtain' a copy.

Anybody on here a fan of the Levellers? I think their music is excellent and having seen them perform twice I can say they are a great live band.

T.Rex "The Slider" & "Ride a white swan"

 

First albums I ever bought & still quality today.

Steve Winwood - A Voice that I never get fed up with any of the bands he has been with or solo except that bloody awful dance thing from last year.

To be fair, I think it was only a sample, admittedly with Winwood's consent (probably), but it wasn't really a Steve Winwood track.

Oh yeah? Never heard 'Nine Million Rainy Days' by the Jesus and Mary Chain??

[Football Man]

Nothing better than Fleetwood Mac in the Peter Green days when they were a proper band. "Need Your Love So Bad" and "Oh Well", just two of many classics.

What about Carter USM who actually got into trouble with the Stones for the line Goodbye Ruby Tuesday/come home you silly cow from the song 'After The watershed'.

He re-recorded his vocals for the track and I still don't like it, video wasn't bad though!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Got a couple of their albums. Crusty soap dodgers but they play an enjoyable punk folk mix.

I accept that some of the more obscure stuff has not aged well but Riders, Light my fire ( the long version) Roadhouse Blues, Lost little girl, LA Woman etc etc still has massive appeal hense its constant play on Virgin, VH etc.

As for not appealing to different generations why are they featured in Q magazine as mentioned above and try telling my daughter who has burnt stuff on to her MP3 player.

[The Invisible Man]

All three Invisible Offspring like the Doors.

 

And the Stones and the Beatles. I've forgotten which one prefers which though.
