Best Album Of All Time (revealed) (pink floyd, Radiohead, Nirvana, sex pistols)

Merkaba · 12-23-2006, 02:05 PM

I love magazines like this, they do this every year, how do they come up with a new greatest album of all time each year?

It's completely non-genuine.

And haha to Oasis beating David Bowies album, even Radiohead beats Oasis.

19. 'A Night At The Opera' - Queen
20. 'Is This It' - The Strokes

I think 'Definately Maybe' is a great album and by far the best Oasis produced, but nowhere near the best ever.
It wouldn't even figure in my personal top 100.
If I had a top 20, only Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust' would figure in it.
It is a personal taste thing Mikey...but seriously 'Definately Maybe' at number 1...WTF!

I don't see why Definitely maybe couldn't be at number one, if we're going by personal taste that is. It's only because there's a widespred prejudice of anything produced after 1990 topping any all time chart. Why, because no great music has been made ever since? Does an album really have to be at least 30 years old to be deemed the best of all time? Is it because all the leading music journalists are geezers that never got over The beatles breaking up?

That being said, I would put Nirvana's Nevermind on number one, breakthough factor included, and overall influence on music and pop culture, which Definitely maybe, with respect to brit pop, didn't acomplish.

Oh and do I see 4 albums by The beatles in the top 20? *yawn*

Well it would help to include them in the overall picture, when it comes down to a best of all time chart.
I'd say the average 18 year old with a modicum of taste, would be able to pick at least 20 albums before even considering 'Definately Maybe'.
Really these charts shouldn't include the term, "all time", in them.
To do so, only makes it laughable and hard to take seriously, judging by some of the albums included in that list.

They put "OK Computer" ahead of "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Nevermind". I can take nothing they say seriously.

I would put OK Computer ahead of those two as well. However, I would not put it ahead of various other PF albums like Meddle and Wish You Were Here.

I prefer Low to the David Bowie album they listed.

I would say the 'best' Led Zeppelin album could go any way to be honest, so I don't dispute IV being up there. Practically all their albums are elite.

I do like the Strokes, but they shouldn't be up there.

I find it laughable that Definitely Maybe is rated that high (but yeah I know... opinions lollercopter).

As for me, after listening to an amazingly large amount of music (I'm heading on 500 GB in music/concerts), my favourite album ever is still Blood Sugar Sex Magik (RHCP).

OK Computer was OK (pardon the pun), but to say thats its better than DSOTM or Nevermind is laughable.

Right lets go through the whole list...

1. 'Definitely Maybe' - Oasis
Good , but should be about 50 places lower

2. 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' - The Beatles
Most over rated album of all time

3. 'Revolver' - The Beatles
My favourite Beatles album , but nothing with Yellow Submarine should be this high.

4. 'OK Computer' - Radiohead
Worthy of it`s placing

5. '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' - Oasis
Should be about 100 places lower

6. 'Nevermind' - Nirvana
One trick pony

7. 'The Stone Roses' - The Stone Roses
Genius , but most people outside the UK hate it or don`t appreciate the impact it had.

8. 'Dark Side Of The Moon' - Pink Floyd
Not even Pink Floyds best album

9. 'The Queen Is Dead' - The Smiths
Although I don`t like them I don`t think they ever did an album that can be considered one of the best , they were a better singles band

10. 'The Bends' - Radiohead
Good but dated

11. 'The Joshua Tree' - U2
Sh*t

12. 'London Calling' - The Clash
Token punk entry

13. 'The Beatles (The White Album)' - The Beatles
Half this album is utter rubbish

14. 'Abbey Road' - The Beatles
Can we have some different bands please , I`d rather have Pet Sounds here & I hate Pet Sounds apart from 2 songs.

15. 'Up The Bracket' - The Libertines
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You can tell this is an NME poll

16. 'Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols' - Sex Pistols
Not as good as Metal Box

17. 'Four Symbols (Led Zeppelin IV)' - Led Zeppelin

Lazy journalism

18. 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars' - David Bowie

I can think of 4 Bowie albums better than this

19. 'A Night At The Opera' - Queen
Overblown pompous rubbish

20. 'Is This It' - The Strokes
F*ck off
