I actually love both SP and Dylan. The only Dylan albums I really don't care for are Desire, Infidels, Oh Mercy, World Gone Wrong, and Knocked Out Loaded (and even those have their moments).

I actually like GCW; it's an example of a flawed masterpiece to be sure, but it's very interesting. I'd rank it ahead of Almost Blue, King Of America, The Delivery Man, When I Was Cruel, and a few others.

But let's see...my picks:

Bruce Springsteen- The Rising, Devils & Dust, Magic; God, when will he realize that hiring Brendan O'Brien was the worst decision he ever made? Human Touch wasn't this bad.

Elvis Costello- North; Does this really need more explanation?

Buzzcocks- Trade Test Transmissions: Why???

The Who- Quadrophenia- Apart from 5:15, Love Reign O'er Me, and The Dirty Jobs, there's nothing here that's very interesting, which is a shame, because conceptually, it's miles ahead of any other Who album.

5:15 is indeed a belting tune. I quite like 'Devils & Dust' but I have to really be in the mood for it.

5:15 and Love Reign O'er me are so good.

I think King Of America's a fantastic album personally (Suit Of Lights is one of the best songs of all time IMO), but each to their own. GCW has it's moments (Sour Milk-Cow Blues and Room Without a Number are great songs) but otherwise I really don't care for it

Suit Of Lights and Brilliant Mistake are amazing tunes; I could do without the rest of KOA.

On GCW, I really love Joe Porterhouse for some reason. Sour Milkcow Blues is great too. The Comedians is interesting because Roy Orbison's performance is so much better, but Costello's version (arguably) has the better lyrics (on GCW, there's the line "All that glitters is not chrome"; on Mystery Girl, Costello reverted to the cliche "All that glitters is not gold"...why?). I can definitely see why most people hate the album, though.

When I first heard D+D, I was convinced it was one of Springsteen's three best albums. The production really kills it, though, and some of the songs are incredibly weak. I do like Black Cowboys. I saw him on the D+D tour, and I just can't help thinking that the album would have been a true masterpiece with a few rewrites and Nebraska-style arrangements.

Eric Clapton - Pilgrim

Black Crowes - Three Snakes and One Charm

Neil Young - Living With War

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

John Fogerty - Revival

'' A Bigger Bang''.....and it was a pretty good album. The only problem was a couple of filler songs. And I hate using the term ''filler songs'', but it's true.

As a big Rolling Stones fan, I'd say ''Bridges to Babylon'' (1997) was incredibly bad.
