Complete and utter shite.

http://www.channel4.com/e...index.html

That is all

shite indeed.

LOL what a joke.

What the hell is Channel 4! Stop looking at these lists!

i have said it before and i will say it again.....if you let the public vote on these kind of lists....you end up with a pile of steaming shite....most people wouldnt know a really great album/song if it pulled down their drawers and performed oral sex on them.....this list could have been worse.....they only allowed people to pick from 125 albums that had already been chosen by the producers.....if they had not done that,..you would have been looking at westlife, mcfly, cheeky girls and any other poor excuse for musicial talent being on there.....just be thankful

this website is a far better guide to great albums...http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/

Yeah it's all conformist crap and so stale. There were a couple of surprises especially seeing Curtis Mayfield's Superfly in the mid 60's position. The rest was sooooo predictable.

If only u could vote for the one u wanted and not some snobby list.

In reality, a spice girls album is proberly very good with all the singles and all, yet was it mentioned?

Lemme guess the top 5...

#1. The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
#2. The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds"
#3. The Beatles "Revolver"
#4. The Beatles "The Beatles (white album)"
#5. The Beatles "Rubber Soul"

Blame the great british public. I'm sure you could vote for others not on their list though.

There's still some classics in there, tho. It ain't so bad.

Cloudbuster said:

There are.

But get fucking Eminem out of there! And get Oasis out of there! And Dido?!

What's with all these lists lately anyway? It seems as if everybody and their grandmother is making "best of" lists these days. I guess everyone's just getting nostalgic for the days when music was actually good.

That'll be it.

I love some oasis. Dildo does suck. Never ever understood the hype of a new sleeping drug that came in a £12.99 cd.

Good to see paul simons "graceland" though. Fantastic album.

thesexofit said:

I see them.




Unfortunately.

Dildo.

Cloudbuster said:

Ohhhhh yeah. "brothers in arms". I like that album. "so far away" and "walk of life" rules, but "love over gold" is my personal fav album.

What is wrong with dire straits? Yeah he was a dylan clone lyrically and even vocally with the phrasing, but he play good guitar and albums are very fine examples of superb production. some may argue too slick for some tastes.

I love "industrial disease" off "love over gold". Mark sorta raps in his own sorta way.

minneapolisgenius said:

So immature. Minni Iam surprised at u.

minneapolisgenius said:

Im suprised you didn't say Madonna

*waits for Minni G to say Madonna*

jayaredee said:

Do you want me to say Madonna?

Ok, get fucking Madonna out of there!

I can't really say anything about that album though, because I've never even heard it. At least not in its entirety. So I can't really comment about the fact that it's on a "greatest" list. I just don't care for Madonna in general, so if this were a "greatest artists" thread, then it would be a different story. Plus, I'm never surprised that her albums show up on these sorts of lists because obviously she's hugely popular.

minneapolisgenius said:

Well, "Like A Prayer" is a really good album but not one of the greatest albums of all time...

Cheek said:

Well, I won't say any more on the subject personally. And as I said before, I haven't even heard the whole thing.
