I know it well - it's 12 minutes long, and was on Cosmo's Factory - the first album I ever bought as a wee lad

. Ramble Tamble, off the same album and running at about 7 minutes, is even better.

I feel slightly guilty that I prefer it to Marvins version !
We should do first Album bought sometime - can anyone beat "Made in Japan" Deep Purple

Poll now open to run for 14 days, get voting people.

But youve included "The Cure", "The Cult", both of which should be under "T" under your previously stated "Achilies decision is final policy"......... Are you going to re-run the "A" Poll so that "The Alarn" can be included?

Achiles74 · **Posted:** 04 Sep 2011, 09:59

The overwhelming opinion was that people thought that the "The" should not be included in name.
So I have amended future votes to this policy.
I will add "The Alarm" to the A vote.

Still can't get to grips with what you classify as rock Achiles

Surely Catatonia & Cranberries are indie (Ok, so there are some rockier numbers)

The Cure are new wave/goth

The Clash are punk...

.....but I would have let you off until I stumbled upon "Coldplay". Now if they are rock then I'm a Chinaman.

One of the greatest bands of the last twenty years has been omitted - The Charlatans. The Coral are missing, as is Elvis Costello. No Alice Cooper or Elic Clapton either.

Finally you've missed the Man in Black who would get my vote

(takes pedantic hat off

I think people are going to vote for their favourite bands whatever the definition of "rock" might be. If you limit it to "rock/heavy metal" we'll just get tied up in what exactly that means. And you'll get fewer people taking part, too.

Agreed - if we are not talking just hard rock and/or metal then personally I'd include under a generic heading of "rock" bands like the Clash and the Cure (started out as punk/new wave, ended up as rock) and Coldplay (AOR?).

Though probably not John Cooper Clarke :wink:

Rather him than Coldplay, though :lol:

Rock as a term is surely pretty broad. I would class everything as rock unless it's opera, classical, jazz, folk or Westlife.

Westlife were the band Take That could have been :wink:

Have you joined Last.Fm yet on Herc's thread Spiny ?- I'm looking forward to a musical education (as long as all the songs are not Rick Wakeman-esque 30 minute prog epics :wink:
