I dread to think what crap will be in the top 10 (Robbie Williams,Oasis....the usual toss)Apparently only one metal album has been nominated by the 125 "experts"...twats
I hope the elite like Radiohead,The Beatles,The Beach Boys,The Smiths and Zep figure high up,and the terribly overrated like Coldplay,The Doors and The Clash are absent or at least in the lower reaches.
 
To be fair, I think Robbie Williams' albums have been of a consistent standard - all songs are generally easy to listen to and very popular, and that has to count for something.

I agree with you re. Oasis though - boring drivel!

Personally, my top album would be The Bends by Radiohead - hope to see that in the list somewhere.
 
I better not tell you that I cut the down load on Pet Sounds and That's Not Me to download some Crowded House. Can all moderators ban people?
 
i think we will see the usual ones up there, doutb there will be many surprises..Radiohead, bendsm ok computer. Pink Floyd, Led Zep, U2 joshua tree, REm automatic for the people,Dylan....

Dont think there is anything recent that will be up there, perhaps Damien Rice O and white strips elephant. There are many good bands out there, like Killers, Bravery, Kings Of leon, Strokes,Atheltes,QOTSA with good albums out, but nothing in my eyes has been revolutionary or push our senses in terms of music to b critically acclaim enough to be in the top 10.

Mind you, Ryan Adams has a new album next month which can potentially be out of the top drawer!

There`s more to music than renta kit indie m8....Killers especially are terribly derivative.I mean twenty years ago i was listening to the Smiths...so what is the point?
Franz Ferdinand i do like though
 
If you think that The Clash are overrated then there isn't a lot that can be done for you.
 
Good choice ditching Beach Boys for Crowded House B) .

Some of the best albums according to me, not bothering to look at the list:

Desire, Blonde On Blonde, Bringing it all back home (Bob Dylan)

Mellon Collie, Machina and Siamese Dream (Smashing Pumpkins)

Woodface (Crowded House B) )

Brother In Arms and Making Movies (Dire Straits)

Doolittle and Bossanova (Pixies)

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is quite good too. Blonde On Blonde and Mellon Collie are probably my two favourite albums.
 
Didn't they do this about three years ago and the The Bends and OK Computer were in the top ten .

Astral Weeks surely should be up there ?
 
This was the top 100 when Rolling Stone did their greatest 500 albums ever. The audience voting on Channel 4 will have a different profile to those who chose for RS :lol:

I'm pretty sure that this forum would split into two groups, with the Rolling Stoners on the far side and the Channel 4ers on the near side.

I would expect any greatest 100 to include at leastr two Sinatra albums - probably Songs For Swinging Lovers and In The Wee Small Hours

And your taste in music can be described as, what? Eclectic? Weird? I've never heard of half the stuff you bang on about so they can't be that good! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion - you may not like the Killers, Coldplay and so on but I do and so do a hell of a lot of people. Indie music is more my scene rather than numetal and the likes (which I consider to be absolute shite) and I'm very happy with that, thank you very much.
