Some might call that a guilty pleasure. Iā€™d class it as a smashing tune. Shane Dowling likes it as well.

Back at the time when Stipe was snarling out his vocals.

Thatā€™s a lovely album farmer.

It is Fagan.

I think itā€™s their best.

Produced by the guy who worked with John Mellencamp bizarrely.

I like that one and Fables best.

I would say that Monster was their first album which was below 4 out of 5. I vary in ratings between the intervening albums from 4 to 5 but Lifes Rich and Automatic would probably be my favourites.

When E-bow the letter was released as the debut single from New Adventures and I recorded it off Dave Fanning, this was the best band ever for me.

New Age Velvet Underground. From the superb Loaded album.

When the lead singer of the Stone Temple Pilots and three former members of Guns ā€˜Nā€™ Roses formed a supergroup, they really missed a trick in not calling themselves The Stone Roses.

Axel probably would have tried to sue them.

At which point Guns ā€˜Nā€™ Pilots would have entered the scene.

Would have tapped beautifully into the zeitgeist of the War on Terror.
