The B-52's - The B-52's

(also ditto Stone Roses, Massive Attack, The Specials - would also add The Beat).

[taper]

Otta

He is.

Gilmour though is on the list of greatest living Englishmen.

And Mason makes the list of worst drummers in the best bands (just behind the U2 chap).

Quite a long way behind Meg White who was described as sounding like "someone who is really bad a DIY putting up a shed"

[taper]

She tops it certainly, removing long standing leader Dave Clarke.

Deja Vu - Crosby, Stills and Nash

Of course Bobby Dylan can sing, Alan. How rude!

[tfwsoll]

Wasn't Deja Vu Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young?

Cure's first album was three imaginary boys. Boys don't cry was a sort of mini compilation I think

Apart from that, a fine selection from Pablo g

Except none were debuts.

Reminds me of a great Jonathan Ross interview on radio about two years ago, so tell me 'celeb' to you like any new music, like Primal Scream (only a quarter of a century old). Also most of these just lived on there off their one 'great' album, but fair play to Noel who quickly realised that most bands only have two great albums in them. To continue.

[malumbu]

Actually not a bad list, and Damn someone has already got the Clash in but you can add the Damned whilst you are at it.

I think this depends on longevity ie can you still play it years later - one that just seems to get better is Kate Bush the Kick Inside, it just seems to have extra dimensions.

Soft Cell Non Stop Exotic Cabaret.

Searching for the Young Soul Rebels, Dexys

Magazine, Magazine (still blows your socks off)

Joy Division, Warsaw (oh I am just being clever)

Half Man Half Biscuit Back on the DHSS

Buzzcocks Another Music in a Different Kitchen

I'll come back with some more modern stuff!

Very funny.

[mockney piers]

Back in the dhss!!

Good call that man....or woman.

[citizenED]

Good call but, it has dated badly - it would now be called "Back in the Job Centre Plus"

[Otta]

Hasn't aged very well, and perhaps bot cool to say you like it these days, but Jagged little pill was an absolute mega album in the mid 90s.

[mockney piers]

The new album 90 Bisodol (Crimond) is out this week!!!
