If a band only has one songwriter, then yep they are irreplaceable.

Money for Nothing is the only one in the top ten there that has really gotten better with age.

Speaking of ordinary guitarists...

It's because (guitarist here) he finger-picks the strings, which is really really rare for rock guitar. It means totally different right hand movements - because you then use your fingers (individually) to play each string, as opposed to the thumb and the wrist which really dominates when using...

There's a lot of brilliance on it, but I can't make a case for any album that includes Ob-La-Di, Bungalow Bill, Don't Pass Me By, Revolution #9, either of the Honey Pies... etc, to be quite in the same conversation as the others.

Hendrix did his three studio albums in 20 months... and the final one was a double. WTF.

I wonder what your favourite band is ;)

My choice too. The White Album just has far too much s**t on it to be included, IMO. I wonder how much the long lead time in writing and releasing a modern album comes into this? The Beatles effectively did one a year for the entirety of their career; the Stones managed their golden four in...

One Hot Minute? Surely you jest. One of these three is not like the others...

You can keep Sweet Home Alabama, we've got the whole of the Beatles' back catalogue...

It took me a few listens - the first time, I thought it was really good rather than something special - but then I just found myself coming back to it time and time again. I now think it's something pretty special. Some of the tones mixed out of that synthesiser are just phenomenally...

Haven't listened to Keepsake, but it would need to be pretty excellent to beat Go Further In Lightness for Australian Album of the Decade, or even Ball Park Music's Museum for Brisbane.

That's kindof like asking if anyone actually plays electric guitar in an opera. No, they don't (though there may be samples), but that's not really the point.

This has got to be one of the most frustrating albums of the year for mine. Harmony Hall is a great song - really a fantastic belter - but the album itself needed someone to just tell Ezra Koenig that some of the musical ideas weren't worth putting on an album, and others just needed an awful...

Hendrix - Dead. Very dead. Pearl Jam - Can revert to musical cliches and get bogged down Silverchair - Johns' voice not what it was.

Yes they are. It's just as though you have two different bands, that's all. One who did the last two albums (which are hugely different in themselves) and one who did the first two... and N.B. is a bridge. The first two albums are too simple for my tastes but that doesn't stop others from...

It's an interesting divide, isn't it. You have people who vastly prefer the last two albums, people who vastly prefer the first two, and Neon Ballroom is the meeting ground for the two of them. As for me, let Daniel write whatever he wants, I don't have to like it... but I do. 1. Tuna in...

First listen: Dug Young Modern Station, Straight Lines is brilliant but pop, and the rest of the album gave me the shyts. Clanged like a set of church bells and pulled in more directions than Jackson Pollock having a wank. Second and third listen: Put it back on to give it a chance. Actually...

The Silverchair album runs a hell of a lot deeper than the others - but that said, that means that half love it and half hate it. No doubt though, you've got to admire it.

To be honest, it's their concert - so either you go and you put up with it or you don't. They have the right to put on whatever concert they like. FWIW, we were stuck near the back last night (on the 19th at Rod Laver) and it was such a shame that the people round us seemed to not know...

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. Disappointing? Nah, just terrible! Pearl Jam - Yield. Eugh. Some good ideas but shocking execution (look at "Do The Evolution" for a good idea wasted by a stodgy tempo)

"You can't always get what you want.... but if you try sometimes... you'll get what you need!"

John Butler's not bad but he's becoming... commercialised

It's not for him, justa slice of home for me if I wanted interesting I'd take.... Jam Back at the House, hendrix's woodstock performance

Hendrix, Woodstock

Hey dudes I'm not saying they're any good.... they're just a little slice of home for me

Can't believe no one said Hendrix yet.

Ok dudes... here's the issue. I'm sitting in China sharing with this British guy - we're both teaching at the same school and whatever. Anyway, me being the singer/guitarist of the two, I decide that I'm hanging out for anything to play and these two songs crop up in my mind - Fuel - Shimmer...

This'll be the first album where you colour in the front cover yourself
