1.the stone roses - s.t. - nice album.but thats it.
2.my bloody valentine - loveless - ok,the production, the layers of guitars, the brian eno ideas, but the result is so messed up. nice album though.

THose three are good starts. My dad likes all three of 'em. Maybe I will when I'm older.

1. S.F.Sorrow - The Pretty Things
2. Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits
3. Gideon Gaye - The High Llamas

3 mainly for the last track that never finishes, changes or does SOMETHING!!

"dire straits" and "classic" was always a contradiction. are you serious?

I went to someone's house party, back in the day, and they'd just got it on cassette. Basically, it went "So far away" which was OK, but then it just dragged onnnnnnnn and onnnnnnn, then the autoturner played side two and onnnnnnnn and onnnnnnnn it went, until side one came back on, and "So far away" came on again, and although it was nice enough that one, it now meant "hey let's just leave it on, we don't need another record IN OUT LIFE FROM NOW ON!!!" Aand I could not LEAVE as someone ELSE DROVE THERE and besides some of the people were quite nice in a 'I might like you' kind of way, but then I found out it was all a waste of time, and then I woke up! And found I wasn;t aslEEP AND I WAS ACTUallly still there, and "So far away" had just started again and everyone SMILEDAH! because the lovely record was to be played ONCE MORE at the very least!

The Stone Roses wins this hands down

Neil Young - After the Gold Rush -- a few great songs surrounded by a lot of drivel

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:33 (twenty years ago)

Nas - Illmatic -- I just don't hear it

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:33 (twenty years ago)

2 more:

can - tago mago. - way too much repetitive.too much african drum bit.

suicide - s.t. - way too much static.though i dig the reasons it is considered "an importend record".

― gregorrr, Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:41 (twenty years ago)

Can - Future Days

― Dadaismus PBUH (Dada), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:45 (twenty years ago)

Um . . . Nevermind, anyone?

Arthur Russell - World of Echo

― Dadaismus PBUH (Dada), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:47 (twenty years ago)

funny, i hadn't really listened to "brothers in arms" since my father bought in when i was a kid so i hadn't noticed it could almost be a dylan late 70s/80s album !
still, i don't really like it. not bad but boring.

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:50 (twenty years ago)

Just about any David Bowie "classic" album fits the bill for me. So, pick any three Bowie records you think are "classic," and I'll fit them on my list.

― James, Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:51 (twenty years ago)

(I realise that "most people" don't consider "Future Days" and "World of Echo" as classics because most people haven't heard (of) them)

― Dadaismus PBUH (Dada), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:52 (twenty years ago)

well, considering british all time classic albums lists, there are 2 others to compete with stone roses :

oasis - definitely maybe
radiohead - ok computer

i like some tracks on both but even these tracks are far from classic to me. just sort of ok...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:53 (twenty years ago)

2. Pink Floyd, The Wall

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 16:22 (twenty years ago)

elvis presley.50's classic for sure,but for nowadays..

about david bowie - agree,except for "hunky dory" ahich i adore.

about fleetwood mac - tusk - a classic for me, if you take out 90% of the non-lindsey buckingham songs.

and i hate every "pink floyd" album,except "piper".

― gregorrr, Tuesday, 7 February 2006 16:26 (twenty years ago)

this is about as bad as the "feel free to blaspheme" thread. oooooh, take that pink floyd!

― ZR (teenagequiet), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 16:28 (twenty years ago)

Lou Reed - The Blue Mask

Although I wish there was a sans vocals version floating around out there...I sure do love them guitars.

re Tusk: I'm a sucker for stevie's beautiful child.

― moxie alv., Tuesday, 7 February 2006 16:30 (twenty years ago)

"feel free to blaspheme" : i quite enjoyed that thread. especially the fact that one of the only person who succeed to get a "oh, that's bad what you just said" reaction was... Geir !

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 16:31 (twenty years ago)

I DONT LIKE 'BE HERE NOW' : o

*DUCKS*

Stones Roses third, fourthed, whatever it takes! Good, but not that good.

Arctic Monkeys too ;)

― fandango (fandango), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 19:18 (twenty years ago)

anyone who considers the arctic monkeys a classic ought to be drawn & quartered.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 19:19 (twenty years ago)

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 20:24 (twenty years ago)

-dark side of the moon (the most overrated album of all time)
-nevermind (for sure)
-exile on main str.

this is actually a very interesting topic. Albums take on a mythical status and no one dares to say they are shit. People always ask themselves: "Whats' wrong with me?". Hmmm...interesting indeed...

― arnart1802, Tuesday, 7 February 2006 22:11 (twenty years ago)

I can't tell if that last post is er 'taking the piss' or not.
