2013 Headliners

[The Nal]

Speaking of more offbeat favourite Stones albums, as per Neils love of Emotional Rescue, I'm a big fan of some of the songs on Dirty Work.

Solo by Jimmy Page.

Oh and this!

The Beatles album after Abbey Road would've been interesting.

Imagine, Jealous Guy, Maybe I'm Amazed, All Things Must Pass, My Sweet Lord....

[russycarps]

Stop saying comprehension, ya w*nk.

[marky3]

it took you a week to come up with that??

[Wooderson]

absolutely right!

Can't believe that others are even being considered.

[Matt87]

Stick Penny Lane/SFF on Pepper and thats yer winner btw.

[eoinca]

Its incredible - no doubt about it. But there are too many unforgivable flaws on there. The gash detracts from it. If you cut it to this - in my humble etc...

USSR

Prudence

Guitar Gently Weeps

Happiness Warm Gun

So Tired

Blackbird

I Will

Julia

Yer Blues

Nature's Son

Skelter

Cry Baby Cry

Good Night

...it's their best record. Without the trimming that award still is held by Revolver.

Stick Penny Lane/SFF on Pepper and thats yer winner btw.

I prefer the while my guitar gently weeps version on the Love album to thwe white album version

I'm going to hell arent I

BTW the white album highlights why lennon was superior to mccartney for me. song for song lennon trounces him there...

[eFestivals]

the White Album is even more fun after reading The Manson Murders.

[Wooderson]

Know what you mean but I think the gash adds to it. A band at the toppermost of the poppermost. Full arrogant flow.

Also, you'd cut Why Dont We Do It On The Road, Everybodys Got Something to Hide. Sexy Sadie, Long Long Long, Revolution 1 and Revolution 9?!

[The Nal]

although I'd argue the opposite for Revolver, Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road.

[mrtourette]

The Stones often seem oddly unpopular for such a big-selling band. Maybe it's because they don't have one obvious 'go to' album a la Sgt. Pepper or Back in Black or what have you. I mean I'll put Exile On Main St in the ring with any album ever made, but it's not exactly bursting with well-known songs. The average spod in the street probably doesn't recognise a track like Happy or Tumbling Dice.

If Mick and Keef both died of smack overdoses in 1972 they'd be up there with Hendrix on the respect scale.

The Stones will suffer from not having one totally cohesive, accessible "masterpiece". The Beatles have got three or four. I like Aftermath, Banquet, Exile, Let it Bleed, but there are songs that warrant skipping on all of them. I don't really see how you can level any criticism at Sgt. Pepper and keep a straight face. I don't go for all that 'liking an album because it's considered a classic', but just listen to it! I'd probably lose sixty-four and replace lucy with strawberry fields but that's just nit-picking. SF Sorrow sounds the most dated of all the albums mentioned from that period, and even that's still brilliant. Also, Pepper's got one of, if not the, greatest song of all time in A Day in the Life, so don't diss yo.

Rubber Soul's still the best though, the sound of a band beginning to experiment, and a taste of things to come, ahhh

Tomorrow Never Knows, A Day in the Life, I Want You (Shes So Heavy)

[russycarps]

Its true, Lennon owned that album, although I'd argue the opposite for Revolver, Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road.

[fightoffyour]

Are The Beatles headlining?

[Trebor]

I can understand those arguments about editing the White Album down to one album, but to me the beauty of it is the fact it goes down so many strange paths. I think it has a slight air of menace, perhaps brought on by the knowledge of the effect it had on the Manson family, as well as the group's obvious disintegration.

[eoinca]

Actually, Obladee aside, I think I like all the songs on it, but like Wooderson, I think it would benefit from being slightly shorter.

[Matt87]

Im def going to hell as I absolutely love the LOVE album , although Rubber Soul is my favourite album.
