Embrace your inner music geek!

My favourite videos (again, too lazy to find links) would be:

Smack My Bitch Up - Prodigy
The Others - William (if only for a brief appearance by me)
Oasis - Live Forever (they bury their drummer, who they then sacked before the recording of the next album)
Radiohead - No Surprises (how does Thom Yorke hold his breath for that long?!)
Take That - Pray (just hilarious)

Can we do top 10 albums now? Can we can we can we can we?? *flutters eyelids*

Could you put it on Mediafire if that's possible? Sounds quite interesting.

It's uploading now, my computer's a bit slow at the moment!

Right, here we go, this should be it unless I've made a momumental cock up (which could well happen):

Off the top of my head:

Ryan Adams - To Be Young
Amy Allison - Don't You Know Anything
Louis Armstrong - St. James Infirmary
The Band - The Night They Drove oLd Dix IeDown
Brendan Benson _ What
Neal Casal - Willow Jane
The Congos _ Fisherman
Iris DeMent - Our Town
Steve Earle _ Copperhead Row
Melody Gardot _ Worrisome Heart
Candye Kane - Masterbation Blues
The Meteors - Wreckin Crew
Martha Muffins - Echo Beach
Geoffrey Oryema _ Makambo
Gram Parsons - Love Hurts
Karine Polwart - Daisy
Super Chikan - Camel Toe
Juliet Turner - Dr. Fell
Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
Yes - Time and A Word

and last but not least

Chas & Dave _ Ain't No Pleasing You

Echoes - Pink Floyd
Hey You - Pink Floyd
Amused To Death (whole Album) - Roger Waters

The above is due to my dad's record collection. And the concerts were fantastic.

People Are Strange - Doors

I was a huge Doors fan when I was 14 to 18. I had a Jim Morrison altar. Well, who didn't have one? People Are Strange is what sounds in my head when I'm on the subway.

Jackpot - Tocotronic
Let There Be Rock - Tocotronic
Wir sind hier nicht in Seattle, Dirk - Tocotronic

I don't know why I like them but I do. Like olives.

Ich habe mich vertan - Helge Schneider

Inexplicable.

Moon River - Henry Mancini
La Belle et le Bad Boy - MC Solaar
1979 - Smashing Pumpkins
Dernier domicile connu - François de Roubaix
Little Polka - Shostakovich
1st Waltz - Shostakovich

Sometimes I'm a romantic. Moon River because of the movie, La Belle etc because of the bass, Shostakovich because it's funny.

Putting on the Ritz - Ella Fitzgerald
La Mer - Francoise Hardy

Putting on the Ritz because of "trying hard to look like Gary Cooper", La Mer because it makes me walk bouncily.

5ième Gnossienne - Erik Satie

Because I've fallen in love to it.

Norwegian Wood
Blackbird- Beatles
The Power of Love-Frankie GTH (I am not gay)
Stay Another Day-East 17 (I am not gay)
Won't Get Fooled Again-The Who (See told you)
Maggie May-Rod Stewart
Baba O'Reilly- The Who
Angie-Rolling Stones
Wild Wild Horses-Rolling Stones
Closer to Believing-Emerson Lake amd Palmer
Lucky Man-Emerson Lake and Palmer
Teenagers-My Chemical Romance
Black Parade- My Chemical Romance
Doves Cry-Prince
Capriccio Espagnol-Rimsky Korsakoff
Carmina Burana-Carl Orff
Radar Love-Golden Earring
Tiger Feet-Mud (Best disco song ever ever)
Live and Let Die-Wings

And many more (help I can't stop!)

Thanks Niko!
I love him coming in at the end.

Loving Frankie's Power of Love too Roscoff (I'm not either by the way).

Right, I've done a top 10 albums list just for the hell of it. It's just about in the right order I think.

1 - Oasis - Definitely Maybe
2 - The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
3 - The Libertines - Up The Bracket
4 - Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
5 - The Verve - Urban Hymns
6 - Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
7 - Radiohead - OK Computer
8 - The Beatles - Rubber Soul
9 - Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish
10 - Lou Reed - Transformer

For Radiohead and The Beatles, I could have also put The Bends and Revolver, I can't choose between these two and the two I included.

Hold Me - Savage Garden: Forgive the poor taste but this is rooted in my 'childhood'. My one brief romance, back when romance merely meant kissing her on the station platform.

Savage Garden are ace. Not one of their best tracks IMO, mind.

Definitely Maybe is really terrible. I was so disappointed when I heard it. With all the hype it's had over the last 14 years, when I actually got round to buying it a few years back I just thought 'Well, this is bland'.

Thumbs up for The Queen Is Dead though. Not sure about Blur. I think time has shown none of their albums to be classics. All have their brilliant moments, but also a lot of filler.

Not sure what my top 10 would be, off the top of my head, not in order . . .

The Queen Is Dead - The Smiths
Automatic for the People - REM
Trans-Europe Express - Kraftwerk
Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division
Rise And Fall - Madness
Whatever & Ever Amen - Ben Folds
Dizzy Heights - The Lightning Seeds
The La's - The La's
Experience - Prodigy
Daisies of the Galaxy - Eels
Movement - New Order
All Mod Cons - The Jam
Sgt. Peppers - The Beatles

Ah, that's 13 . . . And there's some I've missed out.

EDIT:

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses. How could I miss that off?! Amazing LP.

Daisies of the Galaxy - Eels

Top album. "It's a motherf**ker" is my personal favorite from the album. And, surprisingly, not because of the swearing.

Blasphemy! Each to their own though. I agree about the Blur albums containing a lot of filler though. I think Modern Life Is Rubbish is the one that's at a consistent high standard though, whereas Parklife is brilliant in short bursts.

That's a good list though, I almost put Unknown Pleasures and The La's in mine, and I would have probably put All Mod Cons in there too if I hadn't have forgotten it.

Good choice

And now you've reminded me of The Stone Roses' debut, bollocks. This needs doing again I think, maybe a top 15.

Don't be a tit.

It's discussion for f**k's sake. I just gave my thoughts, and then put my own choice down.

You wilfully ignore the bit where I agreed with lots of other choices, and picked loads of bands from his list and put them in mine.

I should add that I do think Morning Glory is very good though, and there's parts of 'Modern Life' that are quite magic - Chemical World and Star Shaped rank among their best work.

I'd probably pick The Great Escape for the one with least filler.
