Everything the Beatles did.

You must get those at least. Greatest Hits is just not enough.

Have the Hendrix albums on cd somewhere, just using the greatest hits for now. Love Dylan though!

And Gazza, never heard of Sublime before. Really liking that 40oz to Freedom album.

I'd probably never have heard Sublime if I hadn't lived in California, growing up. Brilliant band for some chill, reggae/punk stuff, really easy to relate to as well. And of course everyone knows this one (but not who it's by, perhaps)



40 oz is their first and very rough around the edges. The song above comes from their self-titled, probably their best known album, much cleaner production etc.

Glad you like them!

I just picked random ones going through my ipod

Get LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver. Worth it for the song 'All my Friends' alone.

Agreed with the Beatles

I'd add Blood on the tracks to Dylan's collection though.

Also, Exile on Main Street by the Rolling Stones. Very good album, yet Tumbling Dice (not even the best song on the album) is the only one from that album that ever seems to make it onto compilations. Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers are also two good albums.

Darkness on the edge of town by Springsteen is probably my favourite of his. Just edges Born to Run for me.

They have eight albums in total but In Rainbows is definitely one of the best I reckon.

Yeah I've got them all, as a few months ago I thought it was ridiculous how little of their stuff I knew, but I need to break them in and not just listen to them when they come on shuffle or only listening to the ones I know.
 
If you're willing to try a trance/dance album, download Shooting Stars by Tydi. Haven't met a single person who dislikes it.

Someday you will love them. They're touring in 2012 and I'm definitely going to see them, they haven't been on tour since I've got into them (after In Rainbows) so I've never seen them. They won't play many, if any classics, but still.

I am undecided on Radiohead. Sometimes I love them but other times I just think what a load of pretentious, wanky feck bollocks. OK Computer is my favourite of theirs though.
 
Excellent shout Neacro. It's a quintessential rock album. Duaune was on fire that night.
