So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

If Carlsberg ran music polls, this would be the best British Album ever, unfortunately it was the Observer's Poll, so instead we get the Stone Roses. Top 10 for sure but Numero Uno, I disagree. So I am running a wee poll of my own. List your top 10 British Albums of all time in the comments and lets see the pedigree of the readership. Please note any votes for Pink Floyd get imediately disregarded as a frivolous wastew of a vote, bit like voting SSP if you like. My own top 10 - and this is a spur of the hour sort of thing, no spending days agonising over whether its to be Five Leaves Left or Bryter Later (Just Kidding there - there is definitely no rom for Nick Drake in my top 300). Here Goes:
1. Revolver - The Beatles
2. The Queen is Dead - The Smiths
3. Never Mind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols
4. London Calling - The Clash
5. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
6. Psychocandy - Jesus and the Mary Chain
7. Searching for the Young Soul Rebels - Dexys Midnight Runners
8. 4 Symbols - Led Zeppelin
9. Screamadelica - Primal Scream
10.A Pagan Place - The Waterboys (Ooh how unfashionable!)
