I can sympathise. When I was 15 I was in a pub (in those days people didn't care that much about licencing laws in the countryside where I lived, and beer was 50p a pint you know...) and a friend who kept horses decided it would be funny to dissolve Epsom Salts in my beer. For those of you who don't know, Epsom salts are used to unblock equine constipation. They worked a treat on me too! I sh*t my pants quicker than someone being offered the Baghdad franchise of McDonalds! I ran home (all of one mile) and left a trail of rusty water the whole way. By the time I arrived at home the total contents of my stomach had gone, and my trousers were sodden. How my parents laughed! To this day I cannot sit in a bath with the smell of salts in the room. Happy days! Regards

Te He He! I don't care too much about the top 100, but Spinal Tap cracks me up every time. 'mud flaps'! Marvelous. Regards

Today, I am mostly listening to 'Iggy & the Stooges'. Regards

Hi DS, Urban Hymns would be in my top ten all time albums, for sure. Regards

Oh, I almost forgot 'Rory Gallagher Live' and 'Live Taste'. Regards

Top list Beatleant, It echo's many of my choices. I would just add: Tokyo Tapes by the Scorpions - 'fly to ze rainbow!' Rock and Roll Animal by Lou Reed - he did this when the rest of the world was putting flowers in its hair! Regards

Ahh DS, you forget 'Fudge Tunnel' 'Cud' and 'Peter & the Test Tube Babies', amongst others! Regards

Yes, but why does he always sound like he is singing through a sock? Regards

We had a very dodgy version in the UK by a band called 'Tight Fit'. Don't bother checking this one out! Regards

Thanks Sara! Come to think of it, one could explain some of the teen confusion by comparison to polishing the mutton dagger. Regards

Is the 'it' thing the way Christians rationalise the existance of God? Its a bit like going around in mathmatical circles until the volume of ink has a tangible prescence by itself surely. Regards

Hi Sara, Sorry to refer to 'acts of Onan' again, but it is the song, honestly! Regards

Remember what that song was about? Facial expresions pulled when 'pulling'! Regards

I hate 'hip-hop' with a passion, but 'The Streets' is different. A normal bloke talking about things that actually happen to real people, and with a sense of homour. Not your usual wannabe bad boy with a tale about somebody elses life and more chips than McDonalds! 'Respect to the man in the ice-cream van' Regards

Showing my ignorance here, but I can only remember Serge Gainsboro, Sacha Distell and the legend that was Plastic Bertrand (apologies for speling). Sorry. Regards

Got to be 'Trainspotting' Regards

I'm a big Floyd fan, but I've just bought the SS CD for my wife, and I think it rocks! Regards

'Bumping my own thread' TP? Haven't heard it described like that before! Good list though. Regards

You are a lucky bunch! I'd show you a photo of Wakefield, but think I would break down crying. Regards

The Smiths yes. If you are talking about that type of music you must also consider Joy Division, Magazine, The Stone Roses and many, many more. What is the preocupation with 'London Calling'? A great Album for sure, but only one of many from The Clash worth listening to - 'The Clash' anyone? Regards

Hey Jippers, A big 'up' for Stoneage Romeos! Regards

Mutley (Mac Lads - No sheep 'til Buxton!) Lemmy Dusty Springfield Regards

I almost forgot, an honourable mention must go to probably the best American live rock album of all time - 'Double Live Gonzo'! Regards

Other 'old' rock music worth listening to, in my opinion: Any early Deep Purple Early Lou Reed (especially 'Rock & Roll') All Ozzy's Sabbath The Sensational Alex Harvey Band All Rush up to and including Exit Stage Left All Tom Waites All Tim Buckley The Cult The Kinks The Faces The Small Faces Early Genesis Ry Cooder Scorpions - up to and including 'Tokyo Tapes' The list is endless as anybody reading this post will know! As with most album music however expect not to like it much for the first few listens, but persevere and it will come good. p.s. - if wanting to speed things up a bit, try 'Inflamable Material' by Stiff little Fingers, or 'Another music in a different kitchen' by Buzzcocks.
