But a truly good album has to change the world of music, and that only happens once a generation... sex pistols...stone roses...the pixies... oasis.... the strokes... true rock n roll
also: marvin gaye, nwa, bob dylan, beatles....
bands whose albums create other bands. bands and artists that are here to create the generations music

agree with your principles there dawsonio, but not with your choice of examples;
sex pistols i'll go along with - i don't think anyone that understands anything about music can deny the huge influence and catalytic effect they had on the developlment of music in the uk and the states. as much as i like the pixies i wouldn't say they were so influential on other bands to anywhere near the same degree. the stone roses were a part of scene rather than the creators of it, oasis are just a bag of sh!te who put out a great first album but nothing of note or any originality since then - they are followers rather than leaders.
i think you have to be looking at those bands on the vanguard at various points in musical history - so i guess you have to be looking at bands like the beatles, sex pistols, the fall ( 
) etc etc...

Joining Van Morrison on stage will be an orchestral string section and a band of world-class musicians, some of whom played with Van Morrison on the original 'Astral Weeks' recording sessions some 40 years ago.
Any of you lads that have never heard him here's a Sweet Thing

Good shout on rumours and Cranberries DAlglish
Because it's a complilation of songs, not an album as such. It can be one of your personal favourites (I love it myself), but it couldn't be classed as one of the greatest albums ever.
hence why i gave the list as my personal favs as opposed to greatest album ever - as i think there will never be an answer to that question .

andy, the reason I put in Oasis is just that the first album changed things. It was when britpop was at its biggest, and music was going downhill, then Definately Maybe came out, and blew everything away.
Same with the strokes, in the midst of emo and punkraptechno whatever linking park were The Strokes came out, blew everything else away

You could say that. I like a lot of their stuff, so yeah. Although none of their albums can hardly be considered seminal. There are far better and greater albums that would be an insult to compare to any of their work, but that was one album of theirs in the last decade that I really enjoyed. I also liked X&Y.

I really hate them, feel every song is the same. "lets write a slow song about lonliness guys"
Oasis were hardly seminal, I liked the first two albums but they are a beatles rip off with a touch of Nirvana thrown in.

Coldplay. Lossed out musically to an annoying ringtone with a frog as the staple of it.
Says it all really doesnt it? Annoying ringtone or annoying "band"?
