Unfortunately remembered mainly for that performance at Live Aid, AIDS and some very ropey material post 1980, this album released in 1975 is a stonewall classic which is overlooked by a lot of people.

Queen from `73-78 were as good as anything Britain has ever produced musically, and i was wondering if anyone has got the latest Q magazine which has a list of the all-time greatest 100 albums? And if so where did this album come?
 
Indeed, i know Radiohead were 1st and 2nd followed by Nevermind, Revolver and Oasis...at which point i threw the magazine back on the shelf and walked out of the shop in disgust.

That Top 20 looks extremely similar to the one Q did around '98 or so. Kid A at 10 smells of block voting by Radiohead fans.

Not bad for a mainstream list, but it always puzzles me how they always get the metal..or at least hard rock...albums totally wrong.

Some great albums in this list.
 
Anything that doesn't include Creedence Clearwater Revival is clearly off its hinges. That looks like obscurantism of the first order - come ON! Who's heard of a third of those, let alone bought them and played them 5000 times? Shows a serious lack of respect for the power of Motown, soul, R&B, blues funk... et cetera, et cetera, et cetera...
