Rob

interesting choice.
Eminem and 50 cent over Nirvana? nice choice

Kid A... hmmm somebody must have lost their musical judgement ability in a fire.

Buzzcocks? Singles going steady? no? oh ok aerosmith instead.

Black Flag - Damaged? ah no travelling wilburys instead.

Stevie wonder - innervisions? **** that Ben folds "rockin the suburbs".

NWA seem to have stolen a reason to be on this list instead of grandmaster flash.

U2... seemigly you think this album would be there instead or Replacements - Let it be? right? or some Beat Happening?


Mudhoney?
Husker Du?
THe Hollies?
The Faces?
THe Byrds?
Sonic Youth?

shocking list and genre straddling it aint.

Raggamuffin

to name but 5?

quick ones.

Minutemen - double nickels on a dime
Beatles - White Album
Neil young - after the gold rush
pixies - surfer rosa
dinosaur jr. - you're living all over me

loads of honaourable mentions (the cure) etc.
but it's a pointless thread

Jaysus raggamuffin, can you not just put up your suggestions without criticising other people's. Just accept that as a human race, we have different musical tastes....and that goes for anyone who feels like slagging off other peoples choices.
Anyway, I agree with NWA - Straight Outta Compton and here's more....

Burnin' - The Wailers
The Beatles - Revolver
Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On
The Jam - All Mod Cons
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
The Who - Who's Next

If I had to single that down to one, if my life depended on it, I'd go with Burnin' by the Wailers....if you haven't heard it, buy it, Bob Marley and the Wailers albums are usually pretty reasonable.

Saint-dotsie

the objective of this thread was to state one album from yer record collection that you believe everyone should have,unfortunately lond lists were put forward.

stez

Ok....I'll go with The Wailers - Burnin'

Rob Taylor

Ah, Raggamuffin. Never miss an opportunity to criticise, do you? And if it's a pointless thread, why bother submitting? To slag off other people's choices? Now THAT's pointless. Each to their own, remember that. Interesting that when I gave you an opportunity to stop mouthing and do something creative (ie to script a show for the Album Archive), you declined. Funny that.....

It's easier to be dismissive of others than to have others be dismissive of you.

Maybe he was afraid that everyone would rip the piss out of him & his script..

Poor widdle boy.

A few more albums now I think of them (I can never be limited to just one. Don't opress me!) -

Gold
Here Be Monsters
Howdy
Lost Horizons
Mer De Noms

You hit the nail on the head there Rob... each to their own; which is why I think this thread is pointless. It's very arrogant IMO to say one album that everyone should have, as music is subjective and people's tastes vary.. so its impossible to say that there is one particular album (or a huge list of them) that everyone should have in their collection. I mean take your own list for example.. granted you mentioned a lot of stuff that I own and love myself but some of them i'd never want to own in a million years. It's basically a thread to write your favourite albums really isnt it... why cant it just be that without saying everyone should have x album?

1."gave me an oppurtunity to stop mouthing"

2."do something creative"

3."declined"

1. I did'nt see it as an oppurtunity to stop mouthing as i see nothing wrong with critcism. You did'nt give me anything, to be honest, and the "oppurtunity" was marginal.

2. Where is this coming from? Unfortunatly i've got nearly 3 years experience on radio, by now, and scripting is'nt the hardest thing in the world. I prefer to earn my place on radio rather than useless charity.

3. Decline? sorry, i just ignored it, to be honest, too much work to do during the year.I did'nt really like your show's format and album choice; "everyone to their own right?. I can pretty much do the same thing but where as for the moment you're confined to "internet only" i prefer the luxury of FM.

Oh and i don't play 50 cent and eminem, dreadfully sorry there old chap.

yours pretentiously mouthing off,
raggamuffin

Saint-dotsie

we love ragamuffin,
frittering is a delicous song indeed, its not my fave mercury rev tho even tho its great, see you on the other side is just like wow all the time.

you know if you dont agree with the thread dont post on it.. (should be a board rule, and yeah im a facist )

i would just like to see am i on the right board and are people here into the same thing as me musicaly.

regatta de blanc- the police

Why are people getting so hyped up about it. everyone likes to broadcast what albums and bands they like in the hope of influencing others. sure i agree that when 2 people are both telling each othere that their fav album is the best in the world it's a bit stupid. but finding out what other people like is interesting.

The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinit Saddness

Mewzel

my bloody valentine - loveless

Rob Taylor

Raggamuffin, I know you reckon scripting isn't the hardest thing in the world, but it'd be even easier if you spelt "opportunity", "didn't" "criticism" and "isn't" correctly.

Just a friendly tip, old chap......

Yours, with spellcheck,

Rob

Saint-dotsie

so bitchy and everyone likes to piss everyone off, why? im not a hippy but if people can get along whats the point of living and if this is how yis behave in cyber life real life must be a terror for the people yis all know, oh dear god im being dragged into this sordid mud slinging activity, lol

the whos next- the who

landmark rock album and defo their best,

Raggamuffin

tothe best of my knowledge your script does'nt have to be inch perfect.

Anyway who in god's name is going to know about a spelling error if they are listening to the show?

nice one rob you sure got me.

grow up

Saint-dotsie

spiritualized- ladies and gentlmen were floating in space
beautifukl sounds and melodies but more importantly a good intro to a great band,
it reminds me of the people i miss the most

Heehee,

Great thread, maybe should be retitled as "What are yer favourite albums" but very interesting nonetheless. And we even had cheap jibes from Ragamuffin ("I prefer the luxury of FM")...bless!

Anyway, will work on my own list at some point, but just in relation to the Crocketts, I have some of their earlier stuff on CD so if ye can't find it in the markets or whatever, bop me a mail and Ill see can I do a copy.
