God, I had no idea that I had ever bought anything so exotic! Vynal for about 7 quid in Rythem Records in Camden when it use to be a good record shop.

...and Hatful of Hollow is defo The Smiths best with The Queen is Dead a close second.

like the first and third records ('little fluffy clouds' i can still hear what's her name's voice, is it joni mitchell) but ORBITAL's disk is amazing, still spin that one and it doesn't seem too aged to me

the orbital are probable the best if not the best electronic music producers around although i was a bit dissappointed with their new album but insides is defititly a classic which i agree with you has not aged.

Good man. Never got the credit it deserved imo. Begging you is a monster of a song, as is Love spreads.
As some good songs on that album, slated cos it wasn't "baggy!"

Shudder!

Nice choices/ cannot fault any of those choices. Very good. You can keep compiling top 10 lists/ in fact I'd urge C4 to have you do research for them.

As for some of the other lists however.....cough, cough.....

Agreed. Not in my top 10, but both are class. Aw, why can't we do a top 100?
Glad to see D2 Red include Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Rory Gallagher in his 10 choices. At least one other poster looks back further than the last 20 years.

Great idea about the Top 100 maybe it should be a poll?

Well have to agree my top 10 contained nothing that was not at least 15 years old. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be either
