hmmm.. 'Up' I'm not so keen on. Agree about 'Reno', though, a bit of a stinker on an otherwise stellar collection.

Oh good - you can read, too. However - is a message on a public forum not posted to voice an opinion? Ahem..... :rolleyes:

I think my favourite REM album is 'Reveal' - some absolute gems on there - 'Ive Been High', 'Disappear', 'She Just Wants To Be'....... it's an oft-overlooked classic to my ears. Tooth-crunchingly gruesome artwork, but still.....

I suggest you check the definition of what a public messageboard is.... it's an avenue to express your OWN opinion (ie...not someone else's opinion)... err..... thank you. :blink: :D And louis - there's not one but TWO abysmal Black Eyed Peas records on this list... I'm sure they can only be there because the majority of the rest of this list is even worse....

quite....

I find it far more hilarious that you're trying to paint someone as completely awful as Eminem as some modern day Shakespeare... I mean - are you serious? :lol:

err...maybe if you're 12. With a particularly low command of the English language.

and hmm...you've clearly either completely mis-read my message - or you're living on a planet where the Black Eyed Peas are even remotely aceptable. Thank Christ I'm not living there.....

REM are a spent force nowadays, I think, sadly - and why oh why do they always apperar to have Stevie Wonder designing their artwork? They're surely the most consistent band in living memory for having utterly appalling and ugly artwork.... not one of them is in any way pleasing on the eye..... rancid.

umm...ok. I hate Eminem because he's lyrically banal and childish... and whilst I love rap music - I wouldn't even consider his MTV-lite brand of 'rap' worthy of the genre.

Eminem a 'modern classic'? errr... really? This is a shoddy list, anyway, with barely a single song left on there worthy of mention - but... Eminem????

Melody gave what was EASILY last weekend's best performance.... yet she's on her way home??? Whaaaat? :angry: :o

I think text-less covers can only work when either the image or the actual artist is iconic......

Fully agreed - a sprawling, majestic, epic masterpiece that they've come nowhere near to matching since. It's in my all-time top 10, too. Their last album, 'Barking' and, to a lesser degree, 'Oblivion with bells' were both welcome almost-returns to form, though.....

The eternally appalling Black Eyed Peas, please - what on EARTH are Buzzjackers thinking leaving this pile of catsick in the list? TWICE?!? :blink: :blink: :blink:

agreed - all-time classic album..... I absolutely HATE REM's Monster, though.....

:o it's beautiful, as are all the accompanying single sleeves - Savile at his very best..... stunning Nick Knight photography too. Then again, Peter Savile is THE most revered of all the sleeve designers anyway - just look at his work with New Order amongst others.

Can see you doing much better this week - that's dead nice, I like it a lot

I think Coming Up is pretty ok on the whole - and it's my favourite ever album artwork, too.. but... I'm really hating the cheapy packaging with these re-issues - the fold-out digipacks that last about 3 minutes.... every one I've had so far from amazon has been shrinkwrapped - and the spine of the digipack is bent, really ruins the effect when they're side-on on the shelf.... :(

Black Eyed Peas - Shut Up - just an awful, awful song...

aww thanks - took ages... and hundreds of layers. I had about 6 different versions too, but thought sod it, that's the one I'll go with.... :P

When The Levy Breaks for me....

A pop album from Rhydian is about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit, let's be honest...... the original poster here is part of his 'online team'...... hmm..... he'll need more than a few messageboard hackers to sell any of this album, I reckon.....
