'My Sharona' was by The Knack, not The Clash.
Did it on purpose. Was trying to see how much of the irony people would get. None, obviously! The Clash, Sex Pistols and many of those bands were nothing but a media reaction to the over abundance of press and articles on the big bands. You do the opposite, you take the worst and the lowest of them and you show them as great. It was at that time that FM radio in America was being bought out by record companies, and all the music you heard became the top ten, and the stuff that the record companies wanted you to hear. To this day, it's the same thing, and we still "approve" of it! We have no taste or personality at all? To the point that the only thing we can do is compare to something else, instead of looking at yourself in the mirror? Go ahead scratch it, then! You might get it then! (Peter Gabriel reference, btw!)

My old band played My Sharona. I liked playing it. It made the girls dance.

Pedro, much as I love you (and genuinely respect your opinions on a number of topics), there is just so much wrong with this that I don't honestly know exactly where to start deconstructing your argument...
...
If you were around Southern California radio, in the early 70's and saw the freedom that FM radio had to bring out so many new bands, and then watch them all disappear in 3 months, because one man paid one band 100 million and put 300 bands out of work on the same day, and another paid the other band 120 million so they could have a 20 ft dick on the stage, so people would think it was cool. It was "twerking" almost 40 years ago! And we thought it was funny, but now we don't with what's her name on it! It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The problem was, that all of a sudden, you had to like The Clash, The Knack, The ****s, The Pusspuss, The Slits, The X, The Bullpucky ... because the record company was the one putting it out, and since most magazines were tired of the groupie stories on Led Zeppelin and The Who, now there was something else to start out the new day ... bad music, with great advertising ... and of course ... many of us thought they were great, because many of us would not get caught DEAD next to our friends not liking the same dopey **** they smoked and liked! GET REAL

I like the song ... no worries. But honestly, by that time, I was sick and tired of "songs", instead of "music". Give me "Tales from Topographic Oceans" any day, and it stands up like a Beethoven's 9th, or a Mahler's 3rd, while "My Sharona" falls flat! Sorry ... I haven't had taste for "pop musick" since 1972! Most of it is boring! But I'm not sure that many folks here know what that means!

And you're too stoned and ripped to know the difference in music, and will suck up to it because you don't know what else to do? I think I know you better than that! You, at least, listen to other things. Segue for you Craig: Amon Duul 2's "Apocalyptic Bore" (Vive La Trance) and Scorpions "Fly to the Rainbow" (same album- title cut!). Both apparently recorded at the same time, one saying, I'm done with dope, and the other saying ... time to party! Very cool juxtaposition. Even better than the apples and oranges discussion on another thread!

Maybe when you lost the taste it took with it the ability to enjoy a lot of great, exciting music that was recorded after 1972. I think so because it's no secret that there has been a lot of music recorded since that is far from boring and obviously you have missed it. That's unfortunate because I know you really enjoy the arts. Of course I've missed a lot of it too but it's of my choice...not that I've lost "taste".

And I'm the one that says that time never was when music never was! And have the biggest collection of progressive, experimental and music you ever heard or saw ... you already know that. Reminds me of things like XTC ... and people saying ... stupid band, they can't even play a note! But the same person had Sex Pistols and thought they were God! And I never lost track of Peter Hammill, for example, or Roy Harper. Or Tangerine Dream is washing machine music for those that are ear blocked with ****!

i think it's very important to support working musicians, i try & buy as directly from the artist or label as possible, and go to gigs; interestingly the euros childs album is available as a free (or donation) download in full wav format from his website http://euroschilds.co.uk/ , the vinyl is 3 sides of 2 disks in a gatefold... i buy about 5 new (ie, not reissue) albums a month maybe...

Funnily enough I'm re-reading 'Chalkhills & Children', the XTC biography at the moment. I'm not sure who was calling them a 'stupid band', because I've just reached the part where 3 record companies were fighting each other to sign them.  Strangely, Andy Partridge borrowing my Marshall stack for a gig at Swindon' Brunel Rooms didn't make it into the book...luckily neither did the tale of our band deciding it would be 'OK' to use their gear one afternoon which was all set up in Tudor Studios when they were rehearsing the English Settlement tour..they weren't happy bunnies..

they need to let someone that's not over the age of 50 put that list together.
I suspect the list would not be all that different. As much as we like to consider ourselves so above it, the vast majority of people tend to go with the status quo. Most of these "greatest" albums list turn out very similar. Collectively we often repeat what our peers and forerunners deemed great and it usually takes a few generations to be free of that. My son will name athletes dead before he was born when talking about the greatest of all time,not because he sat in a lab and crunched some comparative numbers , but because he has heard countless relatives and sports pundits proclaim it so. In a culture dominated by baby boomers, this list is going to stay the same for awhile. I highly doubt the likes of Benny Goodman or Mozart became less great in the past 50 years. They are just not the dominant music of the dominant age demographic.

Thought I'd add some to the list while I try to make any sense out of age having anything to do with recognizing or creating great music... How about... Romantic Warrior Big Bamboo Land Of The Midnight Sun Finger Paintings My reality is that "great albums" are alright but they are just pale in comparison to the video concerts/performances that weren't around when I was "into" albums. Not only fantastic audio with them but also excellent video...nothing like getting the full package IMO. People can state all the quality opinions they want but I never owned any audio equipment or material on media that came close to what I'm experiencing now with Blu-ray concerts and my DAW. Maybe defining "greatest" is really the confusing part for me...not age.

Hey! I've got all of those mentioned above. Sabbath and Tull were good, but more of a "completionist" buy. I got the new DT about three weeks ago (with the new Paul McCartney album). I played Sir Paul's offering once, but I've played DT's about half-a-dozen times (probably more). It's been awhile since I've listened to Emperor, Morbid Angel or Anathema. Sometimes I forget about a band then get pleasantly surprised when something reminds me to play 'em.

I'm sorry Craig. Cheech and Chong spelling *bambu* - I guess auto correct got it and I didn't notice. I should have listed artist with title but figured they were well known. Al Di Meola and Earl Klugh. Glad I didn't try to list 100 of what I think were great.
