I remember in the old days of the soapbox we'd always have lists being posted, Horizen & JP loved a pointless list. I thought I'd keep it to 5 because we are old and lazy
So here post your top 5's of anything. Songs about death, records by Stevie Wonder. top 5 musicians called Phil.
top 5 Bowie records
01: Station to Station 02: Blackstar 03: Low 04: Lodger 05: Aladdin Sane
I wondered at the time if Bowie's death had influenced by love of Blackstar to a degree. Even a few years on it's still impossible to listen to it without thinking about the fact Bowie knew his days were numbered but it still sounds so incredible to my ears. I really do think it's a bloody masterpiece.

i'll happily do the top 5 albums from scottish bands that aren't primal scream or belle and sebastian list. a disproportionate amount of my favourite bands seem to be from scotland.
right now id got...
arab strap - philophobia jesus and mary chain - psychocandy orange juice - you can't hide your love forever the twilight sad - fourteen autumns and fifteen winters josef k - the only fun in town
the jesus and mary chain - darklands The Vaselines - Dum Dum Wells/Moffat - The Most Important Place in the World Teenage Fanclub - Grand Prix Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out of This Country
as for the cure i've really grown to love them the last few years but still dont think they have a classic album. they have some incredible songs though and are a real force live.
my top 5 albums though would be...
the head on the door disintegration pornography faith wish
I've started listening to The Head On The Door, Disintegration and Kiss Me x3. I'd do a top5 songs, but the only weird choice at the moment would be The End Of The World, which I seriously love.
Anyway, my 5 favourite moments of Trash by the New York Dolls: - The unhinged Traaeeeissh backing vocals. - "And please don't ask me if I love you" + the first time the lead guitar enters with that lick. - The bouncing bass that goes along with the marching drums, EVERY SINGLE TIME. - The ghostly and soft "ooh ooh oooh" vocals that shouldn't probably work but they do. - When after some minutes where nothing new really happens, it reaches the climax basically creating The Ramones.*
*Then it goes back to the start again with the additional Tra-ya-ya-ya backings, which would be the top6 moment.
1) The Dark Stuff - Nick Kent 2) England's Dreaming - Jon Savage 3) You Never Give Me Your Money - Peter Doggett 4) Chronicles Vol 1 - Bob Dylan 5) The Fallen - Dave Simpson
Stumbled across my Soundcloud account where I turtleed my first proper recordings some years ago (had to re-up 2 of them today 'cos they weren't there) so how about a Top 5 Tuckerman tunes?
I bought the Dark Stuff for 50p from a charity shop a few months back, will have to give it a go.
01: Miles: The Autobiography - Miles Davis 02: How Music Got Free: The Inventor, the Music Man, and the Thief - Stephen Witt 03: Live at the Brixton Academy: A Riotous Life in the Music Business - Simon Parkes 04: Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001-2011 - Lizzy Goodman 05: Lee, Myself & I: Inside The Very Special World Of Lee Hazlewood - Wyndham Wallace

My list should have included 'The True Adventures of The Rolling Stones' by Stanley Booth. It's an incredible book. Written by a journalist who was on tour with them across America in 1969. Took him 10 years to write, apparently. You'd rate it, Karl.

That is an absolute motherfucker of a book.
(Bizarre aside: my copy was originally an Ebook in ms word (?!) format, and it required some format changes to read on a kindle, not all of which took. For years, I thought he had a trumpeter friend he nicknamed Dark Terry. Only years later, did I discover that it was in fact *clark* Terry, whoops.
hammer of the gods - led zeppelin - stephen davis morrissey & marr - severed alliance - johnny rogan john - cynthia lennon's book stuart cable's autobiography (it was so good i read it in a day) rise & fall of the stone roses - mick middles
