Derek and the Dominos - Layla and other assorted Love Songs

The Who - Quadrophenia

Stevie Wonder - Talking Book

John Martyn - Grace and Danger

The Beatles - Revolver

Neil Young - Zuma

Free - Heartbreaker

And JJ Cale's entire catalogue.

Agree with J.J Cale but surely Who's Next rather than Quadrophenia & Tons of Sobs better than Heartbreaker?

Some great stuff there. Completely forgot about some of the music that defined my teenage years - Def Leppard, Poison, Whitesnake. I'd add the Quireboys and Thunder in there too.

I loved the likes of Poison etc as a boy but I wouldn't really say their music was timeless. I think it was very much of it's time.

I'd agree there. Certainly Poison, Whitesnake, Motley Crue etc all sound dated now. I'd say The Quireboys music has aged fairly well, and Appetite for Destruction still sounds like it could've been made last week.

quite honestly I think music in the past 20 years has been pretty crappy starting with the wrist slashin' grunge started by the likes of Nirvana

And to think I was about to post saying Nirvana's In Utero amongst a load of other stuff by the likes of Neil Young, The Band, Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, Gram Parsons, The Beatles, Van Morrison, but then wasn't going to bother as it was taking too long agonising on which albums...

Quad for me is the better album IMO, but I can fully understand why Who's Next would be the popular choice.

Ach, f*** it, put both of them in there, they are both worthy.

Whereas after your comment, I listened to both Tons of Sobs and Heartbreaker this afternoon, and to my ears Heartbreaker is vastly superior.

P.S. Not an album, but a timeless song: Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me

Nirvana are awesome. As are Pearl Jam. But you are right on saying there hasn't been a lot to shout about for a while. Oasis and Stereophonics and even Ocean Colour Scene are all great to me, but Oasis would be the earlier stuff mainly.

Going to have to disagree on Heartbreaker.

They weren't even Free really by that time. Andy Fraser had left the band & Paul Kossof was a drug-addled mess.

Four years between the albums too makes for a difficult comparison as the group had changed so much by then.

For me, there's nothing on Heartbreaker anywhere as good as Walk in my Shadow.

Musics all about personal taste though. :wink2:
