sadoldgit Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Blimey, how does anybody whittle it down to just 10. I could do a different 10 everyday for months, as I’m sure we all could. Here is my first effort though - Debora - Tyrannosaurus Rex Badge - Cream Supper’s Ready - Genesis In My Life - The Beatles And You And I - Yes Baba O’Riley - The Who Glory - Television Tarkus - ELP (live version 1974) Love Will Tear Us Apart Again - Joy Division Down On Mission Street - Lloyd Cole and the Commotions Subs bench Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones Head Over Heels - Tears For Fears Gloria - U2 Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin Hold Out Your Hand - Chris Squire 2

yoshida4 Posted July 9 Posted July 9 absolutely loved this thread. i dont really know where to plug a new Saints substack i've started, but because this article has a musical theme throughout, from Hot Chip through to The Beatles I thought I would share in here.

rallyboy Posted July 9 Posted July 9 I would also have Joy Division in a top ten, but I would go for Atmosphere. And it's marginal but for me it edges Russ Abbott's song of the same name. 2

sadoldgit Posted July 9 Posted July 9 10 hours ago, egg said: Ha!! The credit is all to you mate. Cracking thread, and a welcome diversion from flirting about politics and shit we can't do anything about. I couldn’t agree more egg. The great thing about music is that no matter what your music tastes are, we all know what it feels like to be moved by music, even if we don’t agree with what is great or not. I have over 3000 tracks on my Apple playlist and, at any time, many of them could end up in my top ten. Having seen tracks on this thread that I had forgotten about I will end up adding even more. I’d be hopeless on Desert Island Discs. 2

You’ve done well - your thread caused me to ponder why I sold and gave away all my vinyl and cd’s without putting them on some sort of digital keepsake.

I do sometimes miss the action of loading up a CD, but I also appreciate being able to check out a more or less limitless library on the likes of Spotify. 1

sadoldgit Posted Friday at 12:32 Posted Friday at 12:32 How did I miss Go Your Own Way/Rumours from my last list? D’oh! Anyway, yes, easier to come up with a top 10 album list (providing I stick to only one album per artist, otherwise I would struggle again). In no particular order - Revolver - The Beatles The Yes Album - Yes Rattlesnakes - Lloyd Cole and the Commotions Led Zeppelin IV The Joshua Tree - U2 Foxtrot - Genesis Out of Time - R.E.M Who’s Next - The Who Rumours - Fleetwood Mac Trilogy - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

I think coming up was the first Suede album post Bernard Butler. Definitely a more poppy sound. For me hard to pick one from First three as I thought they were all excellent but Coming Up just edges it for me for personal reasons. so Young is in my top 10 songs list, also love Wild Ones, Metal Micky, Drowners Heroine and New Generation. Thought they lost their way a bit after that probably because Brett Anderson was spending all his time chasing the dragon but Autofiction is a brilliant album. All in all though always been a big Suede fan Edited Saturday at 14:04 by Turkish 1

Head Music was a bit of a disappointment. I think they went a little bit off my radar after that album. Saw them at Portsmouth Guildhall last December, and they were still as good if not better sounding than back when I last saw them. 1

I saw than at York last year and Leeds for the 25th Coming Up anniversary tour and they were great.
