What's your favourite(s)

Mine are:

The Stone Roses

Rage Against The Machine - Battle of Los Angeles

The Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

But tonight I'm listening to back to black by Amy Winehouse and although I dont feel sympathy for her directly, I feel sad that she wont make music again.

What's yours?

So which current albums do people think will become classics?

I'm going to state the obvious and say Adele - 21

I personally think there hasn't been a major timeless album released in the 21st Century. Maybe time is the key?

Is it a classic or just a massive worldwide best seller? Fore there is a huge differnce.

When I first heard the stone roses, I knew that it was something special and ir also crossed over and made indie kids like me get into raves abs dance (of course drugs helped) but it truly was a special and historical moment in music. Can that be said be about Adele?

As the previous post said, only time will tell. Hard to tell, but I think it's more likely to stand the test of time than Justin Beiber or Olly Murs!

Great album but from a personal perspective I think 'London Calling' was a bigger influence. I think the Pistols were more infamous than famous.

Granted... The Clash were more of a dynamic band.. As you are aware started off in a similar vein to the Pistols however, as the years moved on The Clash were willing to draw on varied musical influences themselves i.e Reggae to experiment with their sounds..

I think they probably started from a similar place but once the pistols became infamous they followed that course and their main aim was to shock. The Clash followed a different route and drew on other influences.

Jellyfish, counting crows and Jane's Addiction all in the same list.

Very good selection indeed.

but if you pushed me on one!

Then maybe August and Everything After. (just hits that raw emotional nerve)

but Jellyfish POP sings are amazing.

and Summertime Rolls and Jane Says are gorgeous.

I will have to think of some of my own now.

Exactly B.. basically what I put.. I still think their first self titled album The Clash was far better than London Calling when you consider their inexperience at the time!
