Where have you been all my life?

A good Neil Young story - There was one stage where Geffen records, having signed Young, were contemplating suing Neil Young for "not being Neil Young enough" following a series of "challenging" albums. :D :D

yea i think it was his electronic record "Trans" in the mid 80s that was the proverbial camel's back-breaking straw. i'd love to hear that thing!

The 3 Jimi Hendrix Experience Albums - Are you Experienced, Axis Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland. Missed them out originally due to not being born. Genius.

The Beatles - Revolver to Abbey Rd. Quality.

Neil Young - "After the Goldrush" and "Harvest". "Old Man" is a very striking, moving tune.

The La's - The La's. Bought this album twice. First time around - wasn't into it. Second time around - loved it big time.

Lee Mavers (lead singer, The La's) once described this album as "Cheesy ****e". Hyper critical if you ask me. Heavily influenced Noel Gallagher et all.
You're missing out "Rubber Soul" by doing that!

Lydon didn't even rate it himself at the time. Its a good album, not a great album.
PIL is better.

Lydon quotes can't be trusted. Depending on who he's talking to, or what mood he's in, he expresses contradictory opinions on the same topics. Just take a look at his autobiography.

I like (early) PIL, but it doesn't come close to Never Mind the ********.

Doh! Throw Rubber Soul into the mix while your at it. Few great tunes on there alright.

Yup same here, only 18 here and only over the last 2-3 years have I started listening to music 24/7

I only got into Rage Against The Machine in late '05, my favourite band of all time now.

RATM are reforming for a festival in usa sometime this year.

Agreed. For an obviously intelligent man he's prone to bluster and fudge and has more than once spouted the same type of "history of punk-rock as brought to you by SkyOne" sentiment that inspired many an ill-advised Sandi Thom lyric.

ooooh really don't like that album. That and Help are IMO The Beatles worst moments.

PIL I like some of their singles, ( especially the original version of This Is Not a Love Song) some of the first album is unlistenable as are parts of Metal BOX. Other singles I like are Public Image ( which John had intended as lyrics for a song on a potential second Pistols album had the split not occurred) and Rise ( which lyrically reflects the old Irish proverb " May The Road Rise with you and may the sun be always on your back") John's parents were Irish hence the connection.
