Good - Vimto

Vimto is from Manchester? Result!

The Rolling Stones have probably got a four, five or even six times bigger back catalogue than Oasis but I'd say I'd struggle to amass a top ten - and I don't mind TRS's!

How about the Exile On Main St double album in its entirety? It truly deserves its reputation as one of the best records ever made. Then we can add the whole of Let It Bleed and Beggars Banquet, and we haven't even started on singles like Street Fighting Man, Sympathy For The Devil, Gimme Shelter, Under My Thumb, Miss You, Jumpin' Jack Flash, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Angie, Brown Sugar...

I honestly don't get all the hype about Exile On Maine Street. I've listened to it, then left it a few months and gone back to it - done this a few times - and it just doesn't catch me. Let It Bleed is an excellent album, IMO their best.

My fav tracks are:
Satisfaction
Paint It Black
Going Home
She's A Rainbow
Sympathy For The Devil
Parachute Woman
Salt Of The Earth
Gimme Selter
Monkey Man
Sway
Can't You Hear Me Knocking
woman
.. and that's about it really. Haha, more than ten though!

Of course, some of the finest pieces of music ever made, but they also have a huge proportion of their music which is awful. Just like Oasis, you have to pick out the best from everything. I'd be disappointed if people liked Oasis' Def,May but didn't like What's The Story and Be Here Now (like I don't, worst two albums they did for me!); and then left their Oasis interests there. There's so much more to like after these!


Anyway, back to the topic... Yeah Vimto is Mancunian! There's a big 9 foot statue of a Vimto bottle with fruit all around it on a road called Granby Row (behind Witworth St) in town. I love everything they do: still cordial, fizzy in a can, ice lollies, lolly pops, even the chewy stick! :)

Keeps the board tidy and uncluttered. Looks the better for it too. Some Internet forums are like a junk yard!

Always meant to give that Armenian place a try. So you would recommend it, mate? What should I order?
