I know these lists always have at least one odd choice to get people talking but "Stanley Road"? Come on. Not even in the top 100 and certainly not in a list that omits The Clash's "London Calling".

Surely you mean Elvis Presley's debut, not LC?

And hello? The Velvet Underground & Nico?

I've never heard of Stanley Road. This is a very UK-centric list.

Yeah, VU is a strange omission, but I think it's UK only. And don't give me that Elvis crap. I know "London Calling" quoted that picture sleeve but The Clash's image is a million times more recognized around the world. They're still the only band that matters, maaaaan.

Surprised Nirvana - Nevermind isnt in there either, but how does one measure "iconic"?

The Paul Weller album is a very strange choice.

 

[Flax]

I think the list is missing this one:

The Kewpies - I'll move your thread

ha ha

thats pretty funny but i think Kewpie gets an unnecessarily bad press round here - she is only trying to keep the place tidy - i appreciate her efforts.

I see them coming in in all directions... white shining silver stud.. with their nose in flames.

I'm actually just a lost punk kid who somehow ended up on a Morrissey forum.
