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 :D. 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 :)

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?

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 :D

(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:

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

:lol:

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: )
