    My favourites include:

    The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
    Mogwai - Young Team
    Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
    This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain
    The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
    Oasis - Definitely, Maybe
    Morrissey - Maladjusted
    R.E.M - Automatic For the People
    Interpol - Antics
    The Sex Pistols - Never Mind The *******s

    and oh so many more....
    Would not have expected that, even from a die hard Morrissey fan (which I presume you are). The title track is excellent, as is Trouble Loves Me and Roy's Keen, and Alma Matters (which he played live when I saw him this year) but the rest of it is pretty boring. Only 'Kill Uncle' has a more negative response than 'Maladjusted', even though I love Kill Uncle.

    Anyway..

    The Libertines - The Libertines
    The Libertines - Up The Bracket
    Stone Roses - Stone Roses
    The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
    The Smiths - The Smiths
    The Beatles - Revolver
    Morrissey - Viva Hate
    Morrissey - Vauxhall & I
    Los Campesinos! - Romance is Boring (though by the sounds of 'By Your Hand' the new album sounds even more promising)
    Pixies - Doolittle

    Ashamed I can't fit Kill Uncle, or You are the Quarry on here, as well as Present for Everyone and Busted's debut, as they are both great as well.

    And Magical Mystery Tour is just under Revolver for The Beatles best, this is hard to choose.

    Oh I love good Moz debate. I personally LOVE Maladjusted. With the exception of "Sorrow will come in the end" I don't think there is one weak track. He absolutely nailed Alma Matters at Brixton this year. Kill Uncle was always a slow burner for me, but it's a damn good album!

    In no particular order, except for the first choice.

    01. Joy Division - Closer
    02. Gustav Holst - The Planets
    03. Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
    04. Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
    05. Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
    06. Talking Heads - Remain in Light
    07. Unwound - Repetition
    08. Can - Tago Mago
    09. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
    10. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
    GOOD SHOUT! One of the greatest post-rock albums of all time in my opinion.

    Haha, it's hard to find people to have a Moz debate with, most people stick to the Smiths stuff. I actually like Sorrow Will Come in the End, maybe not for musical creativity, just because its hilarious. Also Roy's Keen gets so much bad press, but I think it's a great single. Alma Matters was great at the Hop Farm, was Brixton where he played Art-Hounds? That or Action is My Middle Name are the best new songs he played. Didn't get to see I Know It's Over there though, which annoyed me as it's still the best thing he's written.

    Kill Uncle lyrically is very good, and very different to almost everything else he has done, and Our Frank is one of his best singles.

    Also, did you get to see Come Back to Camden live? Super jealous if you did.

    Roy's Keen is one of my faves. Ah you saw him at Hop Farm. Two mates went there, said he was on top form. No he didn't play Come Back to Camden sadly. It was on the night of the riots as well, but the show still went ahead. He played First Of The Gang to Die and Shoplifters of the World Unite. Should have played Panic as well!

    He played I know it's over as well, just beautiful and yes Art-Hounds was debuted there too!
