[Forgone Conclusion]

Radiohead - OK computer no. 1 :D:D:D:D

waddya think about it? I don't think it was too bad. I would have put a few things higher up (Led Zep, Pink Floyd, etc) and some a lot lower (Maddonna, U2) but at least it didn't have much pop shit

[Eh! Steve]

I prefer The Bends, but it was an interesting and ultimately pleasing choice because it could so easily have been something clichéd like Sgt Peppers which is good but also overrated.

[The Phlegmy One!111]

I cried because some producer somehwere didn't think albums I liked were good enough. :'(

[Echoes]

that top 10 was shocking, i find it hard people actually voted that. more likely they decided to make the top 10 a ridiculous one so EVERYONE would agree they disagreed

For me one of the biggest travesties is The White Stripes' Elephant at number 39, above Fat of the Land! Elephant is a cack album which surely only got that high on the basis of Seven Nation Army, which is vastly overplayed and very boring...

[sexual_harassment_panda]

Morning Glory should be above Definitely Maybe.

tbh i didn't buy it for that, and agree that it's not a good song, but i really enjoy black math, there's no home for here, etc

[Echoes]

Other travesty: A grand don't come for free gets in, Original Pirate material doesn't

Up The Bracket was better than the libertines' self-titled album

46. THE VELVET UNDERGROUND - The Velvet Underground and Nico is a lot more classic and influential than a fair amount of stuff on that list, but i only recently started liking them (try Venus in Furs - awesome) so I can understand why that's not an opinion many people would share

where the hell is Led Zep's Physical Graffiti?? Both that AND Zoso (a.k.a. Led Zep IV) should be above GnR

I also think Dr Dre's Chronic 2001 should be in there somewhere

The Bends and What's the Story (Morning Glory) should be higher than the other albums byy those artists

[Lord Love Rocket]

I would go as far as taking out the top four and burning them. Some things in there are wank and some pretty good so overall its about right. Was quite surprised the Happy Mondays was that far up. Although it is amazing didnt think anybody would vote for it but now looking at it, it should be higher up. It is better than some of that shite.

When the streets came in i got worried because i thought the rest of the chart would be like that. I almost killed myself when i saw it but now im glad i didnt.

The Beatles White album i think is better than the other two and they all should be nearer the top as they are in their entirity works of genius.

If anything it proves that oasis are infinately better than blur. I mean blur got shat on. Two Oasis albums better than all of theirs. Joy Division and The Stone Roses were higher than them.

There are some really inspiring albums in the list rather than just commercial successes which i think is the right choice.

Bob marley also should be removed from the list, as he and all of his music is complete and utter gash. He is only thought of as acceptable as to some he is an icon. I personally think he is a waste of time and space the wanker.

[Forgone Conclusion]

I love a bit of bob marley. He is by no means my favourite artist, and love may be a bit strong, but if a bob marley track comes on on my media player ,it always cheers me up, and i think that is as important as any other factor of a song

[Lord Love Rocket]

True that is a very important factor for a song. Unfortunately he makes me want to cut my own ears off and eat them. So doesn't quite work
