Well, their debut, Sandinista and London Calling are (to me) three truly great albums. That was why I voted yes. Even if I don't listen to them so much these days they're well worth a place in the hall of fame in my opinion.

A massive yes for me, goes without saying, seriously.

IT ENDS NOW. The Clash get in with the most positive votes so far!
Next up from my main man Waspstar Bob Dylan If he had done nothing but record Highway 61 Revisited, he'd still deserve a place in any hall of fame. But he's made plenty of records that are just as good (or almost as good): The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan The Times, They Are-A Changin' Blonde On Blonde John Wesley Harding Nashville Skyline Blood On The Tracks Street Legal Empire Burlesque Under The Red Sky Good As I Been To You Time Out Of Mind Love & Theft And I'll bet there's no one here who hasn't heard some version of at least one of these: All Along The Watchtower, Blowin' In The Wind, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Like A Rolling Stone, If Not For You, Rainy Day Women. I can't imagine anyone not rating those as songs (say what you will about his voice or his haphazard approach to making records; his songs define brilliance). Dylan was my gateway drug into bona fide music addiction, and in a way, that was a bad thing, because everything was downhill from there. |
