      Thirteen? Why thirteen? Tell the truth: you smoke some real serious sh*t mate; don't ya?  >:D

      F**k it, crazy as it is... I'll play along. Music is so personal and that's what makes it great so rather than insist that the following are the greatest I'll just give my list of bands who've meant something to me down the years: In no particular order...

      Clash
      S.L.F.
      Alabama 3
      Ramones
      U2
      Blondie
      Pixies
      Screaming Trees
      Specials
      Foo Fighters
      King Blues
      Sweet
      Stone Roses

      There are many, many, more and the list may change but thirteen is the name of the game so there you have it - my starter for... er... 13.  ;D

      THanks for playing everyone. I picked 13 because I couldn't decide

      Then I realised I left out

      Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Hazy Fantasie !!

      But really I forgot Bruce Springsteen,

      In fact I have a subs bench,

      Beastie Boys, Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, White Stripes, REM, Talking Heads and from Motown - The Funk Brothers

      WTF?

      No Hendrix.

      No Marley.

      No Lennon.

      No Motown artist at all?

      All I listened to at one point was Hendrix and at another point Bob Marley. Had I made the list then they would be on it. It is a toss up as always. I love Statesboro' Blues for example but Blind Willy doesn't make it. THe bands are for the moment in my life. I watched that doco on the 'Funk Brothers' and one of my favourite songs is What becomes of the Broken Hearted' I love Son HOUse and Leadbelly but I suppose the effect is different. All the bands (bar one) I listed speak to me I feel. The exception is Chuck Berry but he is Phenomenon.

      Sweet!!! you are taking the piss mate.
      Yip... big time.  ;D

      Quite often threads like this just disappear, without folk ever reading what others 'think' and a bit of banter: I threw that in just to see if anyone was interested. Thanks for taking time out to read my sh*t. To be honest, if I was to try to actually make a list of true greats - i.e. take this thread anyway serious - out of my list; I'd probably only have The Clash (maybe The Pixies) on a true list... much as I like the other eleven.

      I'd probably pick a 'greatest' songwriter, rock band, reggae, ska, two-tone, punk band etc... even 'pop' band, for example and I'd be at it for months.
