indeed... wiki NME and you will get the idea... and you're right it's not worth getting upset about, you accept the fact that it's the tabloid of music magazines, but i thought the utter bankruptcy of this list from a prevalent weekly publication with international circulation deserved the props. And there is a fine tradition of NME-bashing on this forum anyway =D
there are definitely a few good albums in there, but this was concocted by some very savvy journos catering to their market: impressionable teenagers (christ knows there are plenty of people in their 20s that even read it)... but like i said i don't know how much influence they have anymore, they've been superceded by the free flow of info/music/criticism on the internet.
