The Greatest Albums Ever Thread

[MK James]

 

Good albums in there Bald Eagle, although I'd say The Queen Is Dead is the best Smiths LP.

 

The best recent CD I've bought is The Flaming Lips-Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots- Marvellous.

some brilliant albums in their guys and gals, I'm not going to list all the albums i think are quality a) because the list would be about 500 long, and secondly i think most of you would never have heard of most of them (obscure rephlex/warp label material)

[mdetaylor]

Manics - Holy Bible

St Etienne - Good Humour

 

Agree with Carter - 30 Something is a great album

 

Bluetones - Expecting to Fly

Depeche Mode - Music for the Masses (I would say 101 but not sure that could count)

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes

 

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

 

 

[MK James]

 

Yes... the Holy Bible. I wanted to push the human face in it's own vomit, and then force it to look in the mirror! Or words to that effect.

Prodigy-Experience

[MK James]

 

My favourite album of all, which I hadn't mentioned yet... I can feel the derision coming already <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

 

Embrace-The Good Will Out

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I own that album, MK. Love tracks like "One Big Family", "I Want The World" and "Good Good People".

 

But quite frankly stuff like "Weakness.." and "Come Back To What You Know" sound like third-rate Noel-sung Oasis b-sides.

 

 

[MK James]

 

Can't agree- I prefer their slower piano based tracks.Best track on that LP for me is Higher Sights.Not 1 track i don't like(the intro doesn't count ). The following albums weren't that great though.

 

As for Noel-soundalikes, well Oasis 1st. 2 albums are the dogs [censored].And they spawned the excellent Northern Uproar.Both their albums are worthy purchases.

 

By the way-do you own The Coral album? I like what I've heard and I'm looking for a new cd to add to my collection.Any good?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Yes, very very good. Worth buying. I saw them live last summer too.

 

Northern Uproar I wasn't so keen on. I have a couple of their singles though, and saw them supporting the Charlatans in 1995.

 

Agreed on first two Oasis albums. How many bands have made one album as good as those, let alone two.

 

Yet people still find time to criticise them for not managing to reach those heights since. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

blimey Embrace

 

 

best use of a kazoo since well me at the cellnet stadium...

[MK James]

 

And the thing is Be Here Now,Standing On The Shoulders & Heathen Chemistry are good albums- just not as good as those first 2. Most bands could never record an album as good as those 3 in their entire careers-by that I mean all these over-rated new bands that get hyped up beyond what they actually are i.e The Strokes

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I totally agree. That is so true. If Heathen Chemistry had been released last year by an unknown band, they would be cited as 'the next big thing', and it would've been in every magazine's Top 10 Albums of 2002.
