best album of all time

[Shannon]

slts is a mad song

I can't believe I am being corrected on all things Nirvana by a 13 year old
Very embarrassing, but I'll get over it, I am trying to come to terms with my pride issues
Smells like teen spirit isn't the album title, what is it.... I can't remember.... no not coming oh NEVERMIND maybe someone can help me out.

Others that have sprung to mind

Jeff Buckley - Grace
Stone Temple Pilots - Core
Missy Higgins - The sound of White - Amazing debut from an Aussie chick
Rage Against the Machine - RATM - angry young men

I could think about this all night, so shall sign off so I can check in with other threads.

Any early Cold Chisel or INXS album. Also "Machine Head" by Deep Purple would be up there. And " Dark Side Of The Moon" by Pink Floyd when I'm in the right mindset for it.

Eat a Peach = Allman Bros
Take your pick of Ry Cooder but Talking Timbuktu

...and yeah what about Little Feet, David Byrne (Talking Heads), Go Betweens now I've gone to who remembers Dutch Tilders probably still going (I hope), Van Morrison, got to be Tupelo Honey and most before he got grumpy...

Rage Against the Machine - RATM - angry young men.

Good boy! Rage are definately in my top five all-time bands, and definately the best gig I have ever been to...........watched (in awe)...jumped...sweated and drank to them at The Palace in St kilda in, I think, about '95. Also have got an awesome DVD "Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium" which has a lot of footage of when they played at the 2000 Democratic National Convention............heaps of people got caned by Riot police...shooting rubber bullets straight at people instead of bouncing them off the ground like they're supposed to.

"What, the land of the free?.....whoever told you that is your enemy!" Zack De La Rocka...

mmmm..yeah, I might be a fan

Californication is a good album but I prefer Blood Sugar Sex Magik from RHCP.
And the Honeymoon Is Over was good but I preferred Three Legged Dog from The Cruel Sea.

I'm almost with you there Felder, its a toss up between the RHCP albums, but I think the earlier Cruel Sea albums were better!!
Hard to stop at 5 albums isn't it! Michelle Shocked 'Short sharp shock' is close in my top 10; for the real old stuff I guess a Rolling Stones album should be included...'Get your Ya Yas out' was a good live album, but love listening to 'Goats Head Soup'; Led Zep, 'Physical graffitti'; AC DC, 'If you want blood' another cracker of a live album.
Of course its all really subjective, and most people default back to music that equates with their good old days...but I have suspicions about people that sort of stop listening. Does that mean their own good times ceased? I mentioned the Desert Island albums to my boss today, a real music groupie, and he said something about depending on your mood, then he changed tack and said "Depends on which island!" LOL

G'day,

Excellent album that Master Splinter!

But I'll have to say Division Bell or Final Cut by Pink Floyd.

The Ramones - Rocket to Russia (taking three chord rock back to its one and a half chord basics) 1977

Should be in everyones collection. Superb stuff

Watched rockwiz Sat night, he did a great job you're right. How about Sarah Mcleaod though, she fully held her own with angry, she has a great rock voice, taking over the next generation of Suzie Demarchi (baby aminals).

Master Splinter, and others of the genre - did you catch SBS last Tuesday. On Hot docs they had a 1 1/2 doco on punk and its roots - The velvet underground, Bad brains, dead kennedys, clash, pistols, black flag etc etc. I taped it and watched last night. Quite good. What I would give to go to a Henry Rollins spoken word concert, that guy is sooo articulate for a punk rocker

Nirvana---Nevermind

[Dean]

Everything Guy Sebastian!

NOT!

My favorite is probably U2's Joshua Tree.
