AC/DC. Not in doubt.
Spiritualised, the band that came from the wreckage of Spacemen 3, is one of my favourite bands, and I feel, very underrated.

It's Zeppelin if we're scoring from Billboard.

Yeah, guess they sold more in total.
Pop Will Eat Itself.
Probably, the first three albums were pretty much peerless. Went downhill a bit after that, although still better than most. The last one was a nice surprise though, best record he'd done since Let It Come Down.
Yeah, always more bad than good on every album, but they come along so rarely, meaning you only get three or four really good Spiritualized songs every five years or so! ‘And Nothing Hurt’ is fantastic - easily amongst his best work.
He was obviously massively influenced by Drake. At the same time he was a huge Beatles fan. A song like Baby Brittain (a song about an alcoholic) with the positive pop sensibilities of Lennon was so obvious where the influence came from. Smith could have written Imagine but it would have been about heroin addiction.
Useless trivia time. The end of the Perth festival is next weekend and they are shutting down a major highway in Perth for the day to have an AC/DC festival. The festival is called highway to hell and it is the road that the song was written about, leading from the river into fremantle. Should be good fun, I live one street back so will no doubt pop down to have a gander.

10 albums in 10 years or so, most on Creation. They didn't get big because Peel didn't like the name of their debut, Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty, so he never played them.
Lawrence, the singer, who is one of the most underrated frontmen ever for many reasons wrong a letter to Peel asking why and never got a response.
And here is is talking about it. Now out of a job and on benefits
He is still going though

It's pretty much a perfect album - unfortunately it was like lightning in a bottle and they've struggled to recreate that same buzz since
Mansun.
