Fucking silly thread anyway, I couldn't even pick my favourite 30 albums let alone put them in order of preference...
 
In no particular order and at this moment in time...

1] Kid A, Radiohead
2] White Room, KLF
3] Astral Weeks, Van Morrison
4] Crazy on the Weekend, Sunhouse (one of the best albums ever)
5] Pixies or something

Totally different list to the last time I was asked this question
 
Outrageous Pimples- "Cake for the Damned"

Southern Ducks "Quack crack lovesongs"

Northern outfall and the Sewers-"Smelly September Sunday"

Vic and the Fézènsacs "Gonna puke down your throat encore"

I have no shortlist.
 
At this time of the morning, I think can give an answer from the CDs I've played in the last week or so stack...

Hot 5

Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime
Rocket From The Crypt - Circa Now!
Jawbreaker - 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
Binary Star - Masters of the Universe
Athletic Mic League - Sweats & Kicks

Bubbling Under

Sultans - Shipwrecked
Brother Ali - Shadows on the Sun
Bad Religion - Against the Grain
Rancid - ...And Out Come the Wolves
Television - Marquee Moon

:)
 
As it stands. In no particular order.

The Who - Who's Next.
Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
Gary Numan, Plus others - Hybreed
metallica - Justice for All
Lenard Coen - A new Skin for the Old trodition

I reserve the right to change any of them at any time on a whim. :)
 
at this minute (ant this is probably different to last time I did this)

Bless the weather - John martyn
Louder then Bombs - Smiths (does this count?)
The Specials - The Specials
Powerage - AC/DC
Grand Prix - Teenage Fanclub

I'd throw in a best of stevie wonder, rubber soul, stone roses, daydream nation and screamadelica if I was packing for the desert island and maybe a trojan ska box set.

but increasingly as an old man joining the ipod generation I just cherry pick tracks......

I'd probably like the Shellac and I like Nick Cave but because I am an ignoramus, I unthinkingly put the likes of Sparklehorse, Low and NMH in the category I call 'whiny shit' ;)

Nah, none of those bands are whiny shit. Definitely not...

As someone said on the FSOL thread ... I wanna go in the lifts you go in!

Exactly. I reckon some people are just taking too many drugs and thinking they are in a lift when in the chillout room at raves/clubs etc...

That was bloody hard! ask me again in half hour I'm sure I'd give you five different albums. It's like these 'top five' book, film, comedian or tv prog threads. My tastes are just to random to narrow it down to five, except on an hour to hour basis

Deadbeat - something borrowed, something blue
monolake - cinemascope
 
Possibly ...

The Arcade Fire - Funeral

... though (as like many others on this thread) that's obviously all subject to change :)
 
well this ain't going to be easy.
