Faith No More Top 50

I wasn't sure whether to go with Faith No More as a top 50 given that they only had 6 studio albums, therefore the majority of their songs would end up in the chart somewhere.  But as a teenager I always considered them my third favourite band (after the Manics and the Senseless Things), so quality was never in question.

As with the other two bands they all had one member that I considered set them apart from other more run of the mill bands - the lyrics and propaganda of Richey Edwards, the bass of Morgan Nicholls and the keyboards of Roddy Bottum.  They weren't exactly a standard rock band without Roddy, in particular the rhythm section of Bill Gould and Mike Bordin were uniquely in tune with each other, but he definitely gave them something extra.

Even though I had heard 'Epic' somewhere along the line, 'Angel Dust' was the first FNM album I bought and it was one of those where hearing it as a 14 year old made it not seem as mad as it would be hearing it later on.....the innocence of youth!  Still my favourite of their albums (as shown in the 'By Era' chart), repeated listens reveal plenty of things you hadn't appreciated earlier on.

In reality comparing the songs was very difficult - you had the first two albums fronted by Chuck Mosely, the breakthrough of 'The Real Thing' which was different again, 'Angel Dust' where everything took a slightly darker turn, followed by the stylistically all over the place 'King for a Day...' and the more patchy comeback of 'Album of the Year'.  All had their gems, all had their detours into weird and wonderful unfamiliar genres, some of them worked and some of them didn't but they were definitely never boring.

This chart doesn't have the same depth of quality that the other charts I've compiled have had, but then there was a lot more to choose from in those cases so a slightly unfair comparison.  I think they may have slipped down the pecking order from third favourite band, but there will always be a place in my favourites list for a band as awkward as I am......

Metallica Top 50

Like with the Iron Maiden chart I did previously, Metallica were a band I was familiar with from the many singles released from the Black album, but I had never bought an album until much later.  In fact I saw them for the first time headlining Reading Festival in 1997 before owning any albums and was surprised that I actually recognised a lot of their set.  Following the hottest act around at the time, an 'Antichrist Superstar'-era Marilyn Manson, was no mean feat given they had supposedly gone off the boil, but it's safe to say I was impressed.

It wasn't long before I bought the Black album on cassette, followed by the latest album, 'Reload', and then filled in the gaps from there.  It was a strange time to get into them properly, there were plenty of people saying they had sold out, they weren't as good as the old days etc. etc.  Listening to the older albums you could immediately pick out the timeless classics, obvious from the entries in this chart, but you could also say the impact of some of the albums or songs was lost to me as a latecomer, 'Kill 'Em All' especially sounding fairly primitive when compared to the later albums, something that wouldn't be as pronounced if I'd have heard it at the time when there would have been no modern albums to compare it to.

But that's the same when revisiting any band you were too young to listen to the first time around, eventually the songs take root in your head and you forget about everything else.  So, the earlier albums win out on the whole, but there are probably more entries from later albums than a lot of fans might include.  'Load' may be the album that I consider their weakest overall, but the 4 songs in the chart are of the highest quality.  And I might get some stick for having more songs from 'St Anger' than 'Master of Puppets' but that's just what I think!  I would still consider 'Master of Puppets' their third best album behind 'Metallica' and 'Ride the Lightning'.  All healthy debate as always!

Iron Maiden Top 50

I probably first took notice of Iron Maiden around the 'No Prayer for the Dying' album when I was 12, I was still listening to a lot of pop music, but also starting to look elsewhere.  I had a tape of songs recorded from the radio which included 'Holy Smoke' among the other chart music and who was this band of long-hairs that dared to get to number 1 with 'Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter'?  I liked those songs but didn't really look any further, maybe keeping the videos for 'Be Quick or Be Dead' and 'Man on the Edge' from those I had taped on Raw Power/Noisy Mothers, but that's about it.

Then, after I had a couple of my own demo reviews published in Metal Hammer in 97 (one for my metal band Beneath Utopia, one for my pop-punk band Spraypaint, both 4/10 unfortunately), I was in contact with a local lad that ran a metal fanzine.  He was absolutely adamant that my bass style for the Spraypaint songs was influenced by Steve Harris (it wasn't, it was Morgan Nicholls from the Senseless Things), but despite my protestations I had to investigate further and picked up 'Best of the Beast' from HMV in Middlesbrough during a free period at university.

I could see where he was coming from.  But also to my surprise I actually recognised a lot of the 80s songs, some of the big singles had obviously seeped into my childhood brain without necessarily recognising who they were by.  Based on which songs I liked most on that album I plumped for 'Number of the Beast' first, then just gradually built up my collection until I had all the studio albums.

There are effectively four different eras (some might say bands) at play here - the Di'Anno years of the first two albums, the Dickinson/Smith years up to 'Seventh Son....' (in my opinion, and many others, producing the best songs), the Blaze years (poor Blaze did a decent enough job but there was little feeling or production on those two albums) and the current 3-guitar incarnation.  All represented in this chart, all have their classics, all have their duffers.  But on the whole one of the best metal bands that will ever walk this earth, hope you enjoy the chart!

My Musical Beginnings....(Music Career part 1)

I first started learning how to play the guitar at primary school when I was about 10 (my teacher was called Dave Lister, although not the one from Red Dwarf), and even though I'm left-handed the school only had a stock of right-handed guitars so me and my left-handed friend Sam had to make do with playing the "wrong" way.  Several traditional songs and Beatles standards later (using only one-fingered chords) there was no going back....I wasn't great I have to admit, my fingers kept catching on the strings below and subsequently adding more notes and fingers to the chords I was playing didn't help much.

So I kind of gave up and decided to play bass instead....the Senseless Things were one of my favourite bands around 91/92 when I was 13/14 and Morgan Nicholls made me even more convinced that bass was where it was at.  Closely followed a few months down the line by Flea and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, although I never really attempted much in the way of his style (too afraid of breaking my strings I expect).


It might have helped if I had a bass at this point but no, all I had was the top string of an old battered acoustic guitar and in 1993 after an initial foray into solo recording under the name of Listy (nothing to do with my old teacher), myself and my brother Peter formed the band that would occupy our teenage years, Pyf Belly Machine.  Initial recordings were improvised (badly), my brother had an electric guitar and a keyboard, so more often than not we would record him playing guitar with me playing the drum pads of his keyboard into an old tape recorder and then play that back through the stereo while I played top string bass and he added keyboards.  Sometimes it would just be one take with a built in drumbeat from the keyboard. Slick.


While this was going on I had my own solo material under the name of Marvin (God knows why I chose that name).  I would use the same tricks - layering each instrument over the top of the last one while feeding the previous take through the speakers.  The songs, if you can call them that, were really pretty bad at that stage, one particularly memorable one called 'Neale James is a Saddo' was just me singing words I made up over the top of 'Shadow' by the Lurkers.  I think my brother may have guested on bicycle pump later on in the song.



But after 7 Pyf Belly Machine "albums" and 2 from Marvin in the space of about a year ("released" on our made up label Petit Rouge Ballon Records), some decent songs suddenly started to emerge i.e. we actually started writing them more than five minutes before we hit the record button.  During that time I had started college and we decided to add two of my mates to the Pyf Belly Machine lineup.  We swapped instruments a lot but it was essentially Peter on vocals and guitar, me on vocals and bass (I got a proper bass for Christmas in 1994), Gord on guitar and Swinhoe on drums.  We practiced every Wednesday afternoon, after the three college kids in the band had finished their maths corrections, over at Swinhoe's dad's house as that was where the drums were set up.  He had never played drums before buying them but we got by.

It usually had all 4 strings
We played a couple of gigs in Gord's parents' three car garage to a few mates before our live pinnacle at the Prior Pursglove College gig in Guisborough in March 1995.  Our instrument swapping had reached epic proportions by this point, I started the gig playing drums to a cover of 'Girls and Boys' by Blur, came to the front to do vocals and bass on two of our own, guitar for a cover of Ugly Kid Joe's 'Everything About You', back to bass for 3 more of our own before returning to drums for a cover of 'Jump Around' and remaining on the drum stool for our last song.  I started the song too fast and subsequently had to keep up that pace for the next 4 minutes, pulling all my best drummer grimaces in the process.  That would be Gord's final moment in the band, as the live version of PBM slimmed down to a 3-piece.


The 2-piece PBM carried on recording all throughout this period with two decent albums being made still using the old recording method, 'Quality Material' (Dec 94) and 'Joppa Pans' (Apr 95), with many of the live songs being included.  We had definitely settled down at this point into me playing bass and (keyboard) drums and Peter playing guitar and generally whoever wrote the lyrics singing.  Whoever wrote the song also had control of the sound too, Peter having influences such as Teenage Fanclub and Sebadoh while I had a little bit more of a pop punk, Senseless Things kind of style, which would remain in place on most PBM albums.

But then came the big change that turned the whole world of recording upside down......the 4 track Portastudio (to be continued......)

Feeder Top 50

After the 90s top 50 started it all and I then moved on to my favourite band, Manic Street Preachers, there was only one logical band to turn to next for the top 50 treatment.....my second favourite band, Feeder.  I think I had heard the odd song beforehand but my real introduction came through seeing them early on the main stage at Reading in 1997.  There were a lot of good bands that day but I was familiar with most of them, so Feeder were the band I came away from the festival thinking they were my new "find".

Sixteen years later and they still haven't disappointed, from the early Smashing Pumpkins-isms, through the attempts at superstardom, to the more introspective post-Jon Lee material there has never been a duff period of their career.  Like the Manics they're another band who have an embarrassment of riches in B-side material, even to the extent that they released two of them as A-sides and they made my top 10!!  There will be more top 50s to come, but until then I hope you enjoy the Feeder Top 50!!

Top 100 of 1991

Kids grow up quick don't they?  Just a year before, in 1990, my chart was full of pop and chart music with the odd song from the Soup Dragons or the Charlatans creeping in.  Now, aged 13, it's the other way round - I had quite a few bands I could call my own at this point, plus some that I heard through my brother's growing record collection too.

I think the rules included singles, B-sides and album tracks from the year at this point, which is why some bands seem to have a lot of entries.  I had amassed around ten LPs before this point, but as may be obvious from the chart I had also picked up 'Spartacus' by The Farm, 'Schubert Dip' by EMF, 'A Life With Brian' by Flowered Up and 'Pornograffiti' by Extreme which make a few appearances each.

There aren't many entries here that I'm not keen on now, obviously the order would change and songs I've heard since could push others out but not really embarrassing at all this one.  Although the Manics don't do especially well here despite all their singles for the year getting an entry, but that just proves I'm giving it to you truthfully as it was at the time!!
