Bluemoon's Official Top 100 Albums

It is indeed a great album I had in my top twenty. Morrissey is a lyrical genius. It's just that I find listening to him(on some songs) whine on in a morose manner is tantamount to eating dry crackers in a prison cell on death row, I should imagine.
Is he really a lyrical genius? Really?
I suppose he spoke to a generation. Well a small subsection of the disaffected within a generation.

As I said. Whatever floats your boat.
I think what non Morrissey fans find more mind numbing than his monotonous voice is constantly being told how much of a genius he was and how important a band they were.
How important to them is what they mean.

No different than non Floyd fans not getting the genius of DSOTM and the truly timeless lyrics on it.

Music is subjective and polls like this are merely a bit of fun.
 
Interesting only no 5. Was thinking top 2. And only 10 votes

anyone got a link to Kirsty’s singing of bigmouth
 
I have The Fall,Microdisney,Shack,Cocteau Twins,Killing Joke,Wilco,Whiskeytown,Ryan Adams and the Cardinals,Lucinda Williams and Lift to Experience not making a dent in the top 100.
I had Cocteau twins , treasure and heaven or Las Vegas but maybe should have included blue calendar cafe

I like Floyd and the Smiths, both a lot. I think some of Morrissey's turns-of-phrase are very clever. DSOTM is a lovely record (thank you, Alan Parsons).

However, ain't no one in either band who is any kind of "genius." They're pop musicians.

DSOTM bemoans how difficult life is for rich, popular rock stars, boo friggetty hoo.

Though I suppose whining and complaining is timeless (look at the post I'm writing right now!)
 
4. Oasis - Definitely Maybe 12/146

Definitely Maybe is the debut studio album by English rock band Oasis, released by Creation Records on 29 August 1994. The album was an immediate commercial and critical success in the United Kingdom, having followed on the heels of the singles "Supersonic", "Shakermaker", and "Live Forever". The album went straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart and became the fastest-selling debut album in the UK at the time; it went on to be certified 7× Platinum (2.1 million+ sales) by the BPI. Definitely Maybe marked the beginning of Oasis's success in the United States, selling over one million copies there despite only peaking at 58 on the Billboard 200. The album went on to sell over 8 million copies worldwide and brought widespread critical acclaim.

Definitely Maybe helped to spur a revitalisation in British pop music in the 1990s, and was embraced by critics for its optimistic themes and rejection of the negative outlook of the grunge music of the time. The album is regarded as a seminal entry of the Britpop scene, and has appeared in many publications' lists of the greatest albums of all time. In 2006, the NME conducted a readers' poll in which Definitely Maybe was voted the greatest album of all time.

Definitely Maybe is the first and only album to feature Tony McCarroll who was fired from the band in 1995.


1. Rock 'N' Roll Star

2. Shakermaker

4. Up In The Sky
5. Columbia
6. Supersonic
7. Bring It On Down
8. Cigarettes & Alcohol
9. Digsy's Dinner

Bluehammer Fact: The solo in “Live Forever” was originally twice as long. Producer/mixer Owen Morris cut it down because, as he says in the documentary marking the album’s 10-year anniversary, “I thought it was a bit like fucking Slash from Guns N’ Roses.”


 
I remember 1st seeing Oasis on 'The Chart Show's Indie chart .. 'wow'.
Ditto with Pearl Jam & Alive on their Rock chart.

Must be the guitar hooks/riffs that grabbed me for both.
