My Aim Is True - although the Attractions weren't anywhere near that album, just so you know.

If I remember an earlier thread, weren't the Stone Roses the greatest band of all time?

Yeah, technically backed not by The Attractions but Huey Lewis and the News. A brilliant record, but it's beaten by the Stone Roses in a tight finish.

Stone Roses. It's a nostalgia thing. Although, it is also a great album.

Huey Lewis & the News before Huey Lewis, ie: Clover.

Also, I hate you for voting Stone Roses.

The Choir is an atmospheric alternative Christian rock band, led by Derri Daugherty on guitar and vocals, Steve Hindalong on drums--who also writes most of the band's lyrics--as well as Tim Chandler on bass, Dan Michaels on lyricon, electric flute and saxophone and Marc Byrd on guitar, the latter of whom is a relatively recent addition to the band's lineup.

WTF?

I went back through that nominations thread and didn't see this.

This sounds like OPA playing God.
