Default Greatest album ever?!

would you agree with OK computer being the greatest album ever? brilliant album, personally its a top 10 for me but i think another radiohead album should have been No1-the bends. and the joshua tree number 2? nevermind pisses all over it.

I wouldn't, but then we might have diffrent criteria for an album beomcing the greatest ever. I would say it would need universal appeal. And for more cohession than I think OKC has.

What number did Jacko's Thriller come in at out of curiosity? I'm a touch surprised OK COMP went it in at number one. Blimey.

Parachutes got pretty high up. the list is mad though some very bizzare selections and in a weird order personally i think Let It Be should be higher than any beatles album there!

The only 2 albums I think missed out were AC/DC`s Back In Black & The Cure`s Disintegration. Other than that I think it`s a decent list overall , If you don`t niggle about every single placing.

Oh and Nick Drake`s Bryter Layter is much better than Five Leaves Left

oh, c'mon, that list was just a list of his CD's.....
alot of really great albums....
if I had my choice from the list, it would probably be Pink Floyd, but the wall as well as dark side, and of course, NEVERMIND, and Pistols, Never mind the Bulloks, any thing bi EM that guy is funny as ****!
and the Stones, but Alannis's album, jagged little Pill was definately my favorite....of hers..
Hell, I like the whole list, but them ones, I could not live without.
