Could be right, not seen anyone yet to fill those boots yet though. The Arctics next album will be an interesting one, will either cement their place in music history or see them drop down the ladder, it's the old difficult third album syndrome for them now. Personally I think it will be great, I rate them highly, plus they have age on their side.

I love the Monkeys, best band around at the moment, by a fecking long long way. They've already passed the second album test, third album will not be a problem. I have every faith. Alex Turner will go down as one of the great songwriters, this is just the beginning
Can't argue with this, I tend to agree.
At such a young age to be making the music that they are speaks volumes for their talent, can't wait to hear their music mature as the years go on, some great albums ahead I feel.
Here's the list i came up with; being 19 years old i wouldn't even begin to know the immediate sort of social impact of some of the older albums i have recently listened to and some weren't easy to listen given that i am slightly used to modern mainstream-polished high production value sounds but nevertheless i asked my fathers, uncles and aunts about what they'd recommend and tried to listen to as many as possible.
I'm posting it earlier because i reckon i might become too concious and wouldn't be able to decide on the order; suprisingly i already had a top ten in mind...the rest i have jumbled a bit in the order which i liked more but it's difficult because each is brilliant in its own right; and i had to try to strike a balance between personal liking of certain genres and trying to remember each album's influence as well. Ah feck it...

Got tix for the NME new bands tour in a few weeks, Nomes
The Cribs
Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong
Does it Offend You Yeah?
The Ting Tings
All heavily tipped in the music press (I read Q and occasionally NME). Don't know any of their stuff though

See franco, another one with Def Leppard in their list 
These are brilliant, go on their My Space page there is stuff to download there, a live DJ mix set that is great. Me and a mate were thinking of going to this too, not sure if I'm going yet though.
No. 28!!Nirvana are gonna win this, I tell ya
Good to see a few votes for Wu-Tang
Get going mate. Heard a track by the Ting Tings the other day, ''That's Not my Name''. Excellent stuff, seek it out
Nirvana are gonna win this, I tell ya
Good to see a few votes for Wu-Tang
Should have been Pyromania though, although it suffers from poor production compared to Hysteria. Have you actually listened to either of these?
Honourable mentions to the likes of Pearl Jam (Ten) and others who i hope can recover from not making the cut.

I think I bought Hysteria with my first wage from my first Saturday job.
AGED BADLY
Over-produced bollocks

Hysteria was the one i heard first so that might be it as well; it's incredibly cheesy yet their songs were so damn catchy.
Nah, it's worthy of it's place, Pyromania I mean, it was a pioneering album in it's day, influenced a lot of bands and changed the scene.
"And I want, and I need, and I love, Animal" Brillliant stuff.
You don't get lyrics like that anymore
"Rocket, yeahhhh"
Love it.
Ok, we'll agree to differ there mate eh
Jesus RedNome, 118 posts in this thread alone, aiming for a certain number?
OK I admit it's a bit of a sentimental pick but still good.
''Pour some sugar on me!!!!!! In the name of love!!!!"
Really? fecking hell
Yup lol, still your educating me on the world of music so keep going!
Genius.
Next step up from Meat Loaf
I'm gonna forget you said that.
Anyway I'm calling it a night, catch you later bud.
laters
If i`d have made my list five years back Nevermind would have been higher. I don`t think it`s aged as well as other albums from around the same time.
I think the Wu have superceded Public Enemy as Rap`s greatest name. I rate Liquid Swords higher than 36 Chambers though - and Supreme Clientele was just outside my top 50.
I like your list Nearco, quite a few I woul'd've included had I given it more thought
Nowhere near me ol' mucker.
All in my list. Who the feck are you and why the feck haven't you posted more you feck?
Until this thread appeared i didn`t see many topics about music.
Aside from ticking me off once about liking Green Day and pointing me toward the Dead Kennedy's.
Was that you Nearc?
Was that you Nearc?
Yep. Guilty as charged.
Excellent documentary...there's been lots written and said about certain performers and songwriters with Motown, but the session band and musicians are often overlooked. Same goes for those at Stax and Atlantic.
Gazza...try and hunt down a copy of Dancing in the Street, the documentary series the BBC put out a few years back...looks at how music developed through different genres from the Beatles up til late 90s. Good stuff on 60s soul in one episode.
crikey.. my list will definitely be different from most posted yet that's for sure hehe
there'll be no Oasis, Nirvana, Led Zep, Pink Floyd for starters... Radiohead might be there, not necessarily though
there'll be no Oasis, Nirvana, Led Zep, Pink Floyd for starters... Radiohead might be there, not necessarily though
Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, BB king, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Prince, The Ramones, Rage against the machine, should be in atleast a few of your lists...
Good list, machine
