T Patten

As a long-term G n' R fan, having had a few drinks, I could've cried listening to Axl's vocals on NR just now.

Haven't seen anything of the new band since Download 2006. For me, and I know it's only a TV broadcast, that performance of NR, especiialy Axl's voice, sounded awful.

I'm a friend of their bass player Cass.

We both drink in the same pub in London and are actually doubles partners for pool competitions in the area!

Skunk Anansie are touring again pretty soon. They tour the UK in October, and move onto Europe in November.

I see them live under the name S.C.A.M at a secret gig in London a few months back, and they still sounded very tight.

I'd highly recommend them live.

Skin still sounds fantastic, too.

Very experimental album from Blur.

As mentioned it has some good songs on it, mine are; Trimm Trabb, Battle, Coffee & Tv and No Distance Left To Run. Surprised to see nobody's mentioned Tender as it's one of Blur's best.

But everybody knows Parklife is Blur's best album.

P.S - I see Think Tank mentioned, everyone here knows about Me White Noise don't they?, it's the bonus track featuring Phil Daniels that you can hear by rewinding the CD as soon as the 1st song Ambulance comes on. It's pretty cool.

In my opinion...

1. Led Zeppelin

2. Rolling Stones

3. Free

4. The Doors

5. Small Faces

For real R n B influenced rock bands, look no further than them five.

Commercially everyone should have pretty much the same list.

1965 - 1976

Stones

Beatles

Kinks

Small Faces

Free

The Doors

Hendrix

Bad Company

Skynyrd

All at their peaks during them times...

Beat that!

Jagger, he was the first genuine frontman and is easily the best.

The Rolling Stones are, were, and will forever be the greatest rock n' roll band of all time.

Exactly, Guns n Roses could've been like The Stones if Axl wasn't a complete twat.

He basically started it all off, easily the best frontman ever.

Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out

I've been thinking this way for a long long while, I pretty much gave up on this record quite a while ago and to see fans clutching at straws saying they're gonna stick the album out with zero promotion is madness, for all the money it's cost Axl should have it advertised on his arse...

The record company will want the world to know Chinese Democracy is due for release as they'll be targeting other people to sell the record to, not just G n R fans.

Rolling Stones (x3)

Red Hot Chili Peppers (x2)

Axl's New Band (x3) - Twice in 02 seeing as Docklands was shit, once this year at Download.

Bad Company

Velvet Revolver

Kings Of Leon

Paul Rodgers (x2)

Eels

Blur

Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John & Kiki Dee always gets me going at parties .

I used to work in the HMV at Canary Wharf Station, we had news about Axl's new record coming in about 3 or 4 times, they even gave Chinese Democracy 3 release dates but none of them ever came true...

I don't work there anymore so I don't know, so meh.

My mate's into a band called Emerson, Lake & Parmer (sp?) and I've heard them play some cool instrumental stuff.

This is up there with Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed, Some Girls, etc.

I don't agree, but it is great. In fact I prefer Out of Our Heads as well. It was the first full flowering of their songwriting, but nowhere near the heights they would reach.

Well Said.

I grew up in the britpop era but I was not all that much of a britpop fan, I won't say Guns n Roses as they started in the 80s, so I'd go with...

Black Crowes

Eels

Blur

Supergrass

Nick Cave

My sarcasm towards banned member Atom Heart Mother on the first page made me look like an Oasis fan back then

Blur were easily the best britpop band, I was a huge fan in the 90s but my interest has since cooled a little, I still own all of their albums and I see them live at Wembley Arena in 1999 when they were doing their greatest hits tour...

Coffee & Tv is a great britpop song, although Graham Coxon's solo stuff it pretty shit he's got one song that's just like Coffee & Tv in quite a few ways, it's called Bittersweet Bundle Of Misery and really it's the only solo song of his I like, it's not surprising that he can't go it alone as the verse lyrics for Coffee & Tv were mainly the only thing he contributed writing wise to Blur, which is surprising as he looks a right nerdy type...

Plus yeah, great video too.

Since I've been into music I've never really fucked about with what I've listened to, My main tastes have always been around The Stones, Guns n Roses, Pink Floyd & Aeromsith...

Just to add to the thread I spose I've been listening to a lot of my Bad Company & Free Cds lately

I seem to remember reading this a while ago, Although i'm not 100% on that so it might be new news, But it should be cool no matter what
