Paperback Writer
Eleaner Rigby
Penny Lane
All You Need Is Love
Hello Goodbye
Lady Madonna
Hey Jude
Get Back
The Ballad Of John And Yoko

The Long And Winding Road.

Okay, those are just their number one hits.

Some other throw-aways that didn't reach no. 1

I Saw Here Standing There
Dear Prudence

Some of my favorites ( mostly the White Album) :

I'm So Tired
Glass Onion
Martha My Dear
I Will
Two Of Us
Mother Natures Son
Julia
Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Sexy Sadie
Hey Bulldog ( Toadies did an awesome cover)

I can't even imagine another band with so many great songs. And they have many more great songs:

I'll follow The Sun
Good Day Sunshine
She's A Woman
I'm Down
Srgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
With A Little Help From My Friends.
Across The Universe

I could go on.

All of these, plus more in about 7 years.

The greatest Rock 'n Roll album of all-time, not to mention the very first "debut as greatest hits" album.

This album changed the face of Rock forever. Forget about the Ramones and The Clash. The Ramones were Pop wannabes who couldn't find an ounce of the success they so desperately wanted, and The Clash were just four dorks milking the backlash the Pistols created with this album for every last ounce of its worth. THIS is the real deal; the genuine article. Fast, abrasive, rude, loud, raucous, politically and socially inclined, nothing was even remotely like this album, and to this day nobody can copy this sound, no matter how hard they try. Once you listen to this, you'll think twice about Green Day, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, and the myriad Poseur-Punk bands of the past two decades.

If you say so.

I'd still have to go with an Album that has a prism on the cover of it. An album that someone is throwing on the turntable that has been scratched to high heaven. Someone living in a hut in the middle of nowhere would have Dark Side Of The Moon playing.

Sex Pistols are good, but not the greatest.

It depends on your definition of Rock 'n Roll. If you think that glamorous guitars and long, beautiful hair make for a Rock band, well then... So be it.

The Pistols *were* and still *are* Rock 'n Roll. It was never about complexity (though each musician was exceptional with their respective instruments, Glen Matlock most of all). It was about raw power, the lyrics, and the message. A genuine "we don't care about what you think of us" attitude.

The Imitators and Posers who tried to follow in the wake of the Pistols didn't even grasp the concept of their music. They tried to make it either much more complex, or even simpler than it was, and they usually ****ed it up (the Dead Kennedys did a great job of keeping the flame with Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables, but then they screwed it all up after that, with their "Hardcore" BS).

If it is pure Rock 'n Roll you want, the Pistols canot be topped. If it's an image and sound of pomp and glamour, then listen to the mainstream that's already been listed.

And Zulu7: potatish@earthlink.net if you're that interested in the album

Another Pink Floyd follower? I see that you're not one for more intelligent music.

Don't get me wrong, it is a complex work of musical splendor. But Pink Floyd were full of themselves. They were suppsoed to be rebellious, but they didn't do anything to rebel! And talk about selfishness: They didn't (and still haven't) paid those kids who sang the chorus on "Another Brick In The Wall". There's more to music than the "music".

It's not Rock 'n Roll. It's Psychedelic Guitar-Based Pop.

I won't try to defend rap.. you can't. 99% of it is total crap done by sample potatos. I still like that 1% though.

Don't forget about "Any Way You Want It". That song is great, and it always reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield dancing on the Golf Course.

Masherbrum · « **Reply #88 on:** February 23, 2005, 11:02:22 PM »

The Pistols are Punk. Btw, the kids were paid at the time of the recording. My favorite Queen tune is Sheer Heart Attack off of News Of the World. Sid Vicious getting ripped on, it's beautiful.
