      Cheers mate. ;D

      I think OK Computer is a masterpiece and for me is Radiohead's 'Dark Side Of The Moon'.

      Truly great album and I actually thought, given chat we've had before about music, you might have liked it as well.

      Sh*t. :D

      As I said in my original post mate it's maybe not to everyone's taste but I love everything about this album and I think James Allen really hits a chord with some of his lyrics.

      No I don't have an issue with those who proclaim OK Computer's greatness. I just think The Bends is better but there's no doubt that those two albums were Radiohead's best as it was all about the songs and melody.

      I find it hard to find a 'winner' between The Bends and Ok Computer as they are different albums in how they sound.

      But as I said Radiohead can't be in this thread as they have had more than one perfect album.

      In my opinion of of course. :D

      Absolutely and many will agree with you.

      Oh and I've got another suggestion - Franz Ferdinand's debut. That was something else. 10 years old now!  :o

      edit: And a couple more!

      Demon Days - Gorillaz
      A Rush Of Blood To The Head - Coldplay

      Three albums I ravished growing up.

      Great shout.

      Coldplay haven't got near this album since.

      Some good stuff but A Rush Of Blood To The Head will not be bettered by them.

      A superb album (recorded in Liverpool no less!) accompanied by some fine b sides from that era as well. Check out Crests of Waves and I Ran Away on youtube especially. Will never be bettered.

      I like these threads because I do genuinely then make the effort to listen to the suggested albums and give them a go.
      It concerns me when the likes of U2 and Coldplay are mentioned, however!  :laugh:

      Radiohead - The Bends is a good shout because, like racer I'm reading the topic subject as bands with one great album, not just an album from your favourite band (I like some of Pablo Honey but it's not a great album).

      The Offspring - Smash
      Career defining work. One of the standout New-Wave Punk albums that didn't take itself too seriously and could be left to spin over and over on a hot summer's day or late night bender.

      The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream.
      Gish was great but raw and not easily accessible.
      Mellon Collie could have been great but was padded out by dodgy offerings to make a double album.
      Everything they did after that was dog sh*t.
      Between those two albums was a work of perfection with no weak links. Siamese Dream can still calm me after a bad day or bring a lump to my throat, inspiring memories of carefree times... when decent music was being made!

      Interesting Rep.

      As I said above Radiohead don't go in here as I think they have had two 'perfect' albums with Ok Computer and The Bends.

      And you and racer have got the thread right. Good to see you posting by the way.

      Surely greatness and perfection are separate things though with perfection being subjective? I mean, The Beatles have probably at least 4 great albums but for me their one true perfect album is Abbey Road.

      The innovative, ground breaking Sgt Pepper is the one for me, Abbey Road while being a perfect album was a precursor to the musically abstract brilliance of Sgt Pepper.

      The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream.

      Many a drunken discussion between myself and my mates on this.
      I've always claimed Siamese Dream to be a more complete album.
      If Melon Collie had been a single CD it would have been perfect, but there is far too much self indulgent sh*te on there.

      Nirvana - Nevermind.

      Let's be honest, as good as In Utero was there was a lot of "F**k the Record Company" noise on it.

      Surprised at the Soundgarden and Pantera suggestions. Not because they aren't awesome albums (they definitely are) but because Superunknown and Far Beyond Driven are also great, great albums (imho).

      Defo mate.

      I just think that was when both bands hit that peak.

      I haven't listened to the whole thing Si. Found his accent a  bit overpowering if I'm honest. Didn't hate what I heard but I didn't love it either mate.

      Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
      Sex Pistols - Nevermind The Bollocks
      Blondie - Parallel Lines
      Eels - Beautiful Freak

      I've just downloaded Eels and Beach Boys on the back of your post and will give them a listen on the drive to Northumberland tomorrow.

      I do like some Eels but have always got them mixed up with Doves for some strange reason when they're referred to.

      James Allen's accent is very strong and I'd guess a love or hate thing.

      I'm not that sure on the Eels album but Mouse is 100% with Pet Sounds. Perfection.

      New York band We Are Scientists came onto the indie scene by storm with their second album "With Love and Squalor". I totally loved this band from the first listen, they had everything in the album - all killer songs and even today (it was released in 2005) the music does not sound past it. Unfortunately they sizzled out after that and their follow-up albums can never grace the heights of their debut. They use to headline the main stages at festivals, now they've been relegated to the smaller ones, shame because that breakthrough album was a masterpiece.

      Yeah will give them a proper headphone listen when I'm back home. 4 year old demanding the Ghostbusters song every 5 minutes of my journey kind of ruined the moment. That and Henrietta by the Fratellis are the scourge of my life now. Must have heard them both 2 million times.

      Up in RedLFCBlood by the way
