Oasis all the way. What a band. What an album.

The Who - on reflection, nuff said. Leslie Ash, Phil Daniels AND the music.

...and Ray Winstone, Sting, and Jim Carver from The Bill.

Going to go with What's The Story....again, a very close call. That's on a personal note because it really did soundtrack my life when it came out. Yes, Definitely Maybe was a better album but WTSMG was just everywhere that summer...it seemed every shop was playing it, every passing car had it playing, from every open window you walked past in the street. As a band they went from reasonably succesful to being absolutely huge and I was there to see it happen. When they first toured with it I saw them at De Montfort Hall in Leicester, by the time they came to the end of it's touring cycle I was watching them at Knebworth.

If I were born 20 years earlier then no doubt I'd vote for Quadrophenia, an album I also love. However personal experience and the memories that music evokes of a certain time wins out on this occasion.

Magically bored on a quiet street corner
Free frustration in our minds and our toes
Quiet storm water, m-m-my generation
Uppers and downers, either way blood flows

Quadrophenia for me too.

A pleasant pastime of mine, bank holiday riots, being an ex-skinhead.

As much as i disliked mods, i hated rockers more so any film that shows rockers getting a kicking is high,high up on the list for me.
Oasis are strutting,pouting norfern bastids.

Gimme Green Onions any day.

I've not heard the soundtrack, but I've often thought Quadrophenia to be one of the most overrated films of all time.

Plus I was 16 when WTSMG came out; such an iconic album for people of my age and thereabouts, although I don't rate it as highly as Definitely Maybe
