Just a reminder that Witcher 3 is redcafes greatest game of all time. I just like saying that.
 
I originally played around with the idea of doing best songs rather than best albums but thought against it as we'd all look like pedos after Ignition (Remix) inevitably ended up in the final top 5.

I wish a safe, vanilla artist covers that track in the future :lol:

I’m far too uncool to have an opinion on any of the first few rounds. I mean, I know Pet Sounds is supposed to be great but fairly sure I’ve never once been arsed to listen to the whole thing. To me they’ll always be the “Everyone’s gone surfing, surfing USA!” guys.

This is nothing compared to years past.

Gaming - so many complaints about PC being left out.

Movies - everyone moaned that it was based on genres and not decades. So we took a vote and majority picked genres :lol:

TV Shows - had people tactically voting to ensure their favourites went through, Hobbers being the worst offender.

This is a minor speed bump compared to those.

On a separate note... Just got another speeding fine FFS.
 
1. The Stooges: The Stooges
2. The Beach Boys: Pet Sounds
3. Donovan: Sunshine Superman
4. The Doors: The Doors
5. Roy Orbison - Crying.

Ahh no I meant I haven't heard them. The 'of' shouldn't have been there. That's with regards to Beatles. I genuinely never heard of Pet Sounds.

My mate once made me a mixtape of the best Beatles songs as I wanted to widen my musical horizon... Couldn't get past 3 songs.

I do like Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds though. That's a good song.

Now you know how I feel about Mr Cage :cool: …… Go to the end of Abbey Road - Golden Slumber/Carry that weight/The End (flow into each other) is fantastic. I could listen to Golden Slumber on a loop.

Tbf any further back than the 60's and you'd see a massive drop off.

Even with the 60s, I'm seeing a lot of similar lists. That's fine though, Beatles and Beach Boys were seminal bands that helped shape music.
