Re: top 5 greatest albums
 

ohhhh, liking your choices jacky...went to see Meatloaf play live at Harewood House {Leeds} before I headed over here; he is the ultimate showman :cool:

Great song?
 

I have too many favourite albums that I can't think how to order them accordng to "greatness."

But a song that I think is "great" at the moment is by a kiwi band, SJD, called "Beautiful Haze" and is being used on the Monteith TV beer ads.

Enjoy!

I can only think of 4 at the moment

1. Newton Faulkner - Hand built by robots
2. Coldplay - Parachutes
3. Kings of Leon - Because of the times
4. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

We used have Meatloaf blasting out of the stereo on the way to school with my mum singing away to bat out of hell!!! Now thats an education!
