Sounds like I ought to give Joni Mitchell a listen. I only know one of her songs. Is the album Blue really that good, or is it very much a time and a place thing... Like I suppose the first two Oasis albums or the Stone Roses possibly are? I guess its hard to separate1

I'm going to be compiling the results for the knock out phase shortly. Will probably give it till midnight.1

I'd argue The Stone Roses and Oasis come to that are probable more than just a time thing. I certainly have seen many people signing along at recent Stone Roses gigs who weren't even alive first time around.McBobbin said:Sounds like I ought to give Joni Mitchell a listen.

I'm rethinking mine as well daily, should I have included one of The Sundays Albums.......0 -
Yeah, they are all considered to be great albums... I was too young for Stone Roses the first time, but love them now... I was more Britpop era, but not too many of those albums have stood the test of time. Saying that, I was listening to All Change by Cast yesterday, and it brought back loads of great memories. This is the ultimate second hand shop album, along with Kula Shakers KRob7Lee said:

Having said all that, I don't know many my age (37) who would put Joni Mitchell in their top 5.0 -
^ill add to that my parents aren't into her, hence why I picked beach boys, and could have picked Beatles, Stones, Animals, Hollies, Zombies... I got into Hendrix and Dylan under my own steam!0

Couldn't agree more, the Stone Roses work in any era.Rob7Lee said:

This is impossible so I'll just go off the cuff and then think of hundreds of others.
Lowlife - New Order
Levelling the Land - The Levellers
Music for the Masses - Depeche Mode
Achtung Baby - U2
The Hurting - Tears For Fears.
Then quick shouts to 0898 Beautiful South, 101 Damnations Carter USM, Disintegration The Cure, Everyone's Got One Echobelly, A Maximum High Shed Seven, The Holy Bible or Generation Terrorists, Manics.
Oh and Rock Spectacle, Barenaked Ladies.0 -

Ah, 'sweet child in time', such a good track. So many got close, Wheels of Fire - cream, Aqualung - Jethro Tull, Fill your head with Rock - various, Nice by Nice, Tea for the Tillerman - Cat Stevens, Very Heavy, Very Humble - Uriah Heap.PragueAddick said:
Yep. Remember you spinning some of them on your folks' stereogram. Deep Purple in Rock didnt make the cut, then ? :-)Redrobo said:Albums. Now thats a word going out of fashion. Takes me back to when going to buy an album was a big event because of the cost. The excitement of walking home with it tucked under the arm. Those were the days so I make my selection from way back when.
Piper at the Gates of Dawn- Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin 2 - Led Zeppelin
Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Arthur Brown
In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson.

Did Yes and Creedence Clearwater get onto yours?
certainly considered "Fragile". Still got my vinyl of that. Creedence, the magic has gone for me, although I still play Born on the Bayou.
A bunch of old pensioners claiming to be Uriah Heep are 'headlining" a concert in Kladno, Prague's answer to Luton, sometime soon. I did think of going along out of curiosity, but think I'll swerve it.

Thanks for voting. It so happens that we have sixteen albums with more than two votes. That's probably perfect. The 1v1s will be presented one by one, the first one will be in the next few days.
I'll post YouTube links to albums during the next phase as and when they come up if anyone wants to listen before casting a vote. I'm really looking forward to listening to some new music as I've only listened to six of the remaining sixteen.2 -
I started to do this, decided that there were two absolute musts
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
Then is started going through the 1000+ albums on the phone, thought these two may be in there
Highway to Hell - AC/DC
Transgender Dysphoria Blues - Against Me
Then I realized this was impossible.
But to all those who put Never Mind the Bollocks in there I say, listen to it again. When it turns up on random play, I'm always amazed at how pedestrian and plodding it sounds. I remember when this was the end of western civilization. Important album, absolutely, but musically, not so much.1 -
Such a brilliant band and album, but I placed White Crosses in my top 5, could have been your choice too to be honest.SomervilleAddick said:I started to do this, decided that there were two absolute musts

I know I'm in a minority on here but I really don't get the hero worship the Stone Roses get - yes a decent album that I enjoy listening to but they are hugely over-hyped for me. Certainly not the best of the Madchester lot.2 -
@SomervilleAddick The Sex Pistols were really a singles band. NMTB was really a padded singles collection.
GSTQ is in my top five singles (don't start!)
And anyone who doesn't know the album, and (@Redrobo) I gathered most of the tracks here on a Spotify playlist:
