everyone's got a right to an opinion fish. we've come to expect nothing less than this blinkered view from you.

Read my post said IMOSo I repeat IMO these bands are rubbish .So because I don't like these bands makes me blinkered? Strange. However if you don't like the bands I do does that make you blinkered also?

So the Stone Roses make your top 9, but not your top 10??

Hadn't realised I'd included em!

Would make my top 500. IMO rubbish the lot of em. Have a +1 for seeing the light. Clash is punk end of. REM a nothing band with nothing music. Joy Division little more than pop music. The final 3 are the musical equivalent of mogadon

Joy Division pop music?! Taken literally, yeah but they've hardly been accused of being over accessible in the past.

read my post. i said everyone entitled to an opinion but anything away from 'rock' seems to be in your opinion rubbish.
i dont really like rock music but i dont know enough about most bands to say theyre rubbish. they just dont do anything for me.

how do you come to the conclusion joy division are little more than a pop band?

I think he's on his own there. But no doubt some of his favourite bands are not my thing. Rush, for example, is almost entirely guff to my ears.

Best 'old' song I've listened to today is History by the Verve.

Kate Bush - Rock?
Blackmores Night - Rock?
Neil Diamond - Rock?
Joe Cocker - Rock?
Neil Young - Rock?
Alan Parsons Project - Rock?
Pink Floyd - Rock?
Enigma - Rock?
Barclay James Harvest - Rock
Peter Gabriel -Rock?
Yes - Rock?
Bob Seger - Rock?
Need I go on? Without actually counting I would hazard a guess that less than half of my 4000+ albums would be classed as rock.

to an 'outsider' like me most of those artists would fall under rock.

now why do you consider joy division to be little more than a pop band?

Alright indie type music which to my ears is nothing more than glorified pop. Love Will Tear Us Apart and Atmosphere are pop. I will endevour to listen to more of their music and make a more knowledgeable opinion

Love Will Tear Us Apart is comfortably the poppiest thing they ever did. Not that it's any worse for it, it'd be in my top ten tracks of all time.

Beautiful song and oddly when I sing along to it (loudly in the car) it seems to make my voice sound quite good when I know it's not!

Really sorry but I can understand why such a trivial track would be at the in the top ten of any list. Their you go opinions and all that.

Because to me I listen to it, think so what. What was that about? Does nothing whatsoever for me and no matter how many times I could listen to it, it would be like so many tracks before it and after it. Boring,trivial and unoriginal. IMO of course I may add

The Pixies probably make my top 9 bands of all time (the reason I've gone 9 is that they flow easily and there are probably 30-40 other bands who come be number 10) which would be something like this...

REM
Radiohead
Nirvana
The Smiths
Manic Street Preachers
Pixies
Stone Roses
Joy Division
The Who

Tim, given your liking of Nirvana, are you a fan of the Foo's?

I've got all their albums and have seen them live more than one so I'd have to say yes. They're a band that pretty much everyone likes though aren't they? My other half likes them which is fine but she doesn't like Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Queens of the Stone Age, Metallica etc. My little girl used to sing along to Monkey Wrench when she was three. I think that sums them up, they're inoffensive and completely harmless.

Fair point. I suppose they are 'middle of the road'.

Although I’m not a massive fan of the band, I think it’s an iconic song and it gets played pretty often on my ipod.

Anyone for the coral?

They made some cracking tunes. Loved their first two albums

Dad rock?

I'd give that list a 2 out of 10, IMO of course.
