Teenage Riot followed by Silver Rocket on Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation takes some beating.

Love Will Tear Us Apart

Heard this the other day - how boring and dreary is the singers' voice. :icon_eek:

The music itself was good, his voice was far too dull for my liking.

Meh! I could say the same about Queen and Linkin Park :icon_wink

Metallica are a bunch of egotistic bell-ends

Liked them, once. Hope they suck cocks in hell now - money grabbing soulless ****s.

I couldn't choose 2 so I had to say all 3.

That work for you in Pizza Hut for Buy1Get1Free?

The best back2back brace has to be:
Pixies ~ Trompe Le Monde:

1. "Palace of the Brine"
2. "Letter to Memphis"

What, IYHO (In your honest opinion) is the best double on an album? By double, I mean two tracks in a row.

I think the best double is off Bristish Sea Power's epic album, "The Decline of British Sea Power", and starts at track 8, ends with track 9 (obviously).

'Carrion' is a modern classic and 'Blackout' is just one of the finest tracks ever created. I truly believe this to be the best double ever.

Other contenders IMHO are as follows:

The Stone Roses, The Stone Roses - This Is The One, I Am The Resurrection.

Artic Monkeys, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - Fake Tales Of San Francisco, Dancing Shoes.

Radiohead, The Bends - High And Dry, Fake Plastic Trees.

Remember, this is merely a vehicle for discussion. Tracks must run sequentially and it's just two tracks. The rest of the album should bear no affect on your choice.

A bien tot.

Mikey, firstly I agree with your Kid A selections, very good, but then you trip up by saying that Joy Division is awful. Strange behaviour.

I beg to differ........

Now & So Low, Custom Blue, 'All Follow Everyone' - or 'Structure' on it's own...

Alex, send me a copy of your full album mate - listened to the demo you sent the other day, still think it's good but would like to hear how the band are progressing. Let me know mate. Cheers.
