Thanks to MotörheadBlögger for giving the heads up on "The Big Stiff Box Set". If I hadn't read his post I wouldn't have noticed The Independents freebie when it was advertised on the telly.

Apart from one or two tunes the track listing on both CDs are very good. A reasonable breadth of the mainstream Stiff catalogue.

Life On Mars Soundtrack

Am I mad, in a coma, or have I just been listening to the Life On Mars Original Soundtrack CD. Most excellent. Not surprising really as the picking ground for material, the 70's, has been identified as the best decade for popular music. My only criticism of it is the lack of any Hawkwind , not that I'm biased, especially as the show has featured Brainstorm , Silver Machine , Urban Guerrilla , Ejection and You Shouldn't Do That over its two seasons. Still there's always the potential for a second soundtrack album at some stage in the future and plenty of material still to chose from.

Collecting the albums has been a long strange trip through the annals of rock history and taken me through classics by the likes of Sabbath, AC/DC and Deep Purple to Scandinavian Death Metal. Yes the choices are debateable but the book is a great way of discovering some wonderful music to headbang like a maniac to. It's got some notable omisions too, in particular a certain Black Country band who most would argue are the greatest rock and roll band of all timel and who cast a giant blimp shaped shaddow over the genre. In addition to the 100 albums I've also listed the other albums by the bands concerned that the book says are worth getting, so if any of
