I was joking however Lyla is Street Fighting Man with little or no attempt to hide it. The Beatles, Stones and especially Zepplin have ripped off others as have all bands. However they have all managed to stamp a certain amount of themselves on it and thus creating a new sound. Good though some Oasis stuff is they don't do that for me.

I think Oasis were lucky, they filled a vacuum in the mid 90's with a harder more guitar rock style that had been absent for years. In the 60's and 70's they would have been a mediocre rock band but in 1995 there was no real UK competition.

I get Oasis but there nothing special - sorry.

WELCOME TO PARADISE

Hehe - braces, brightly coloured glasses and an absolutely massive mobile phone?

Captain Fantastic and the Brown dirt cowboy- Elton John when he was good.

personally think his best two albums are 'Blue Moves' & 'Honky Chateau'

Scarily, so was mine (from the record shop on Upper Kirkgate, the name of which escapes me right now). Think I redeemed myself a little bit with my next purchases - Thin Lizzy "Live and Dangerous" and the Stranglers "Rattus Norvegicus".

Too pee'd off to think about rugby right now, so current all time favourite top 10, in no particluar order, is:

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
The Who - Live at Leeds (I "don't get" The Who, but this album seriously kicks A)
Bob Marley - Natty Dread
Misty in Roots - Live at the Counter Eurovision
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
Pink Floyd - Echoes
The Doors - LA Woman
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Boll*ocks (can't believe I had to manipulate the swear filter for that one.... I'll ban myself )

The Jam - Setting Sons
The Clash - London Calling
Dexys - Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
The Specials debut album
Squeeze - East Side Story
Aztec Camera -High Land Hard Rain
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
Stone Roses debut album
REM -Green
Blur - Parklife
Paul Weller - WildWood
Teenage Fanclub - Grand Prix
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call

How could I forget The Pogues - Rum Sodomy and the Lash and If I Should Fall from Grace with God!

Queen II is the best album ever, no need to worry about any others, they are fighting for 2nd

Did you rip that off from Kyassors Kompost Korner cos thats well funny!

Live clips of that gig are kind of scary. The only stand-alone Who track for mine is Baba O'Riley, which is class. Otherwise, everything they ever did that was any good is on the live album. In my humble opinion, of course... except for that "Real Me" track on Quadrophenia, which is also class...

Wont get fooled again, 5:15 just for the best damn bass playing you will ever hear. 2 of my faves.

A quick one while hes away from Live at Leeds is just magic. Thats tonights listening sorted, thank you RR.

depends what kind of music you're talking about

Live at Leeds is ok (I still have the original LP with all the paperwork etc somewhere in the garage,but Quo live is great and Uriah Heep Live too though probably my fave live album is Deep Purple 'Made in Japan'

re - seeing bands live - probably the best for me has to be Floyd in the mid 70s with Dark Side of the Moon,Bowie in the Ziggy Stardust era,Quo who were great rockers,Alice Cooper with a great stage show and beleive it or not BJH whose live music was as good in quality as any studio album,amazing sound reproduction on stage.There must be more tangled up with the grey matter................
