I call it Led Zep LXXV

Well to be fair, babyshambles is not that good.
But I would venture to call Dirty Pretty Things better... and the libertines. ;)
I can't stand the sound of Pixies voice. And Stone Roses just reminds me of early nineties dirty knees grunge rock like Smashing Pumpkins.

So you've heard all of one of their songs then.:crazy:

I used to love The Libertines, glad to see them back together because what Carl and Pete did without each other was quite laughable. I actually prefer Babyshambles to DPT. I hope The Libertines can make up for the shower of shit that's been Babyshambles and DPT.

The Stone Roses -> Smashing Pumpkins? Have you ever actually listened to The Stone Roses?

Saying that, sounding like The Smashing Pumpkins wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

Yeah that means all of nothing to me. Sorry.

I agree. Though I fancied DPT loads, still nothing compared to Libertines.
Yes, I have. And I do not enjoy them. People run around claiming this band or that 'changed music' or had some huge 'influence'... people say that about EVERY band that makes it fairly big, though. To me, if I like it, it ain't cos it supposedly was revolutionary to whomever's world of music.

I see what you mean, it can get quite annoying every band being hyped up, but saying that if a band makes it big, isn't there a reason for it? If they're big they obviously appeal to a big number of people, which in turn influences them.. The Stone Roses and The Pixies were both brilliant, even though they were big. Some people tend to shy away from big bands, because they don't want to jump on the band wagon which I always thought was silly.

Stone Roses...Played the tape cassette (yes tape cassette) till it would hardly play anymore. Really enjoyed them!

I originally voted Roses, if I had the chance to vote again, I'd vote Doolittle I think.. Mainly because I'm loving the album at the moment. But the Roses S/T is an absolute classic.

Go America!

:laughing:

It's not just team America! The Stone Roses are/were from my home town!! Turning my back on the Mancs.. Can't do it. But Doolittle is brilliant.

Doolittle vs Surfa Rosa would've been more interesting.. Both regarded as classics. I think Doolittle blows Surfer Rosa out the water. :D

I don't know about blowing it out of the water, but I prefer Doolittle as well...

Maybe a slight exaggeration but yeah, Doolittle is brilliant.

Surfer Rosa>Doolittle. The sheer unadulterated weirdness of it is bliss.

Pffft

The Pixies practically lived in Europe between 1988-1990

Plus it's where they established a foothold commerically, becoming big amongst the UK indie scene whilst America ignored them.

Go America!

This.

Doolittle>Surfer Rosa. The sheer song for song quality of it is bliss. ;)

Hmm, if I'd heard each album only once, I'd definitely vote for Doolittle. But I feel that the Stone Roses' S/T holds up much better to repeated listening, even if it is a little weak in the middle. So my vote goes to the Mancs.

Stone Roses hands down for me, Nothing to do with them being British and I do really like the Pixies but in terms of my music taste the Stone Roses get their own page in the book, really a personal favourite of mine.

Bossonovais my fav album theirs with dig for fire my fav track... who cares why it just is. Will be seeing them (and PAVEMENT!!!) at primavera next month... can't bloody wait!! (primavera line-up is one of the best of any festi i've EVER been to, and i'm no spring chicken i can tell you!) :)

^You jammy b1tch. That is all.

lol. that is all.

Pixies > SR any day

i have tix for the troxy gig too June 4 but just found out i need to be at a stag do that weekend instead :(

i take that back. just incase anyon's intrested! :)

Hard choice as both are classic albums, but Dolittle wins as the Stone Roses album has too much filler.

I haven't heard much from Pixies, so the choice is obvious. To be honest, The Stone Roses is seriously up there as one of my favourite albums of all time, so I doubt there would be any competition anyway.

like what? imo if we leave out discussion of Don't stop which isn't really a proper song all the songs are of the v.highest quality.

you're missing a treat if you haven't heard Doolittle.

i love both

but voted Doolittle just cos there's more variety

The Stone Roses is pretty one-note

The Stone Roses has some awesome songs but it has some duds aswell that I always skip whilst I always listen to Doolittle all the way through so that.

human resources is first to be announced about the fans of the andylau:
at access over this son hereafter word precisely what word and sentence about what sentence, my heart can''''t be calm once able long while, shocking! why would like an elementary son that like?! a lot of years in bbs in regards to a horizontal network to be able to my life, from thinking an improved further can''''t there is any a son can move me, soak up never thought to come based on sight of such ingenious and incomparable like about this an a son today.

'doolittle' easily!

It is my third favorite-ist album of all time period!

Like Stone Roses were never even that popular here in the States and frankly I barely even know who they are to be totally honest. They sound to me like some Soup Dragons rip-off more then some super duper original band.

^^The Soup Dragons were much better than the Stone Roses

The Stone Roses for me.

How have I not seen this thread?

Soup Dragons much better than The Stone Roses? I may have to disown you, my estranged forum adoptee.

I would rather listen to The Stone Roses than Doolittle but I would rather have The Pixies discography with me on a 12 hour journey.

Although I do think The Second Coming is severely under rated, they would never be able to better the debut. The quality of songs are just top class, not to mention the monumental effect it had on music (good and bad).

Even the weaker middle part ha some great tunes, like Bye Bye Badman.

^^it's just an opinion

The pixies by a long shot
