    i’m a massive Roses fan, and the Second Coming is far better than the Stone Roses first album IMHO

    There. I’ve said it.

    From a similar era, I think that Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile is a far better album than Pills Thrills, Bummed et al from the Happy Mondays.

    Crag – agreed. The Mondays always sounded at their chaotic ramshackle best before the glossy production

    Shoot me, but the last “proper” Echo and the Bunnymen album – the eponomously titled one – is my favourite of theirs. Probably because it was the first one I heard.

    Another one for Metallica Load and Reload. They got massive flack for these albums. But ignoring anything they recorded before and take them for what they are. I think they have some amazing songs. Bleeding me and outlaw torn are awesome. Imagine a totally new band writing songs like that, they would have been applauded.

    I like Shades Of God by PL. Not really heard their stuff since then.

    Check out the new one “Tragic Idol” its good, very good. Vocals not growling anymore, but muscially its harking back to the older style. Would say its one of the best albums they have produced.

    Sorry Binners you are wrong. I love Second Coming but it’s just not as good as The Stone Roses – which is just flawless. I often agree with you but not this time!

    Second Coming is far better

    Another massive long term Roses fan here, Second Coming isn’t better but it is as good as the first album just in a different way. The thing is The Second Coming was perhaps not what people were expecting and that’s why its often criticised. If that album had been released by a band other than the Stone Roses it would rightly be hailed as the stone cold classic masterpiece it is. (imo)

    Just to argue with Jimpy – Teenage Fanclub – shadows is utterly beautiful! Though I’ve presently got Grand Prix on 😉

    Pixies – Trompe Le Monde

    That’s what I was gonna say. I know hardcore fans and critics seem to prefer their more abrasive, earlier work – but I think the songwriting and production on the last album was just magnificent.

    Really like Bossanova too. Seems to get more interesting with age.

    My fave TFC album too.

    I like their later material but it is a bit Big Star tribute band-y.

    Had to listen to this…

    Killing Joke – Brighter than a Thousand Suns

    Never been acknowledged as one of their best but kindles a hell of a lot of special memories for me.

    Nah, if I wanted a Led Zeppelin album, I would buy one.

    Anyway, is OK Computer considered to be Radiohead’s best? Because I far prefer The Bends.
