The Stones At Hyde Park

This is where i say i'm sorry for not posting, unfortunately in the memory of rock 'n' roll i refuse to care. Now what have you been up to lately? Oh really, how is your grandma doing nowadays anyway? oh really, sorry to hear. Me? Oh not much really, I ate dinner, watched some telly, listened to some Yes and then went to Hyde park to see (as the daily mail coined them) the living dead (Better known in the music world as the Rolling Stones). Yes, i went to see the Stones, i went on the 6th so.... yeah i'm a bit late at posting, anywho I Went there, joined in on the insane barrier run, in which i'm fairly certain i shortened my life by several years, and managed to get to the barrier. The wait was antagonising, but soon King Charles came on and Sung a series of Mum-Friendly songs for you to listen to on a sunny day. He wasn't bad, and lived up to the (Slightly high) standards  i had set for him. But really? He didn't make my jaw drop. A Hour (Or so) la...

They rolled stones in Glasto

Last night one of the greatest band ever went to one of the greatest festivals ever with them they brought a anticipation to match no other at the festival as well as a seasoned set list of hits to rival none. Despite living roughly 8 miles from  Glastonbury itself i failed to get tickets so i had to cope with (as many of you did) watching them on the TV, so the first moment i got to see them they were mid-way through playing "miss You" and i'll admit to being disappointed in Mick and the boys as they were seemingly not getting the crowd up and dancing how wrong i was. Following this Midnight Rambler gained a almost euphoric feel from the crowd and i was busy contemplate whether the Stones are the best band i've seen on the TV. Mick then launched into the much-unspoken about bardic tale of "2000 years" from their 1967 album Satanic Majesties Request, claiming that "We're not going to do the whole of Satanic Majesties" and making myself a...

A few rules a notes for this post, firstly this i'm forcing myself to only include one album of each artist hence why there is only one Beatles album and One Bob Dylan album. Also this is personal opinion so don't start raising the townsfolk in arms just because you disagree.  10. Let It Bleed - Rolling Stones  The Beatles' great rivals finally succeeded in releasing a album to match the Beatles in 1969 thus cementing them into Rock's history.  9. Music From Big Pink - The Band The world's greatest backing band's first solo effort truly destroyed the minds of the musicians of 1968 and left many of them questioning the meaning of their music.  8. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn - Pink Floyd Syd Barrett's masterpiece was glorious and was the best Floyd effort until Dark Side. However i consider this their 2nd best album overall with only Wish You Were Here topping it.  7. Tommy - The Who  The first true Rock Opera. No on ...
