Q Magazine Top 100 Albums of All Time

[Bald_Eagle]

Got all the top 3, In Utero is better than nevermind also surprised Revolver is rated higher than Abbey Road...Revolver made strides yet Abbey Road was the Icing on a big fat old cake...Talking of the last 5 years...The Marshall Mathers LP wasn't bad nor was Choke by the Beautiful South.

[SteveP]

Sorry I've been away, had serious modem issues at home, I am falling out of love with Dell very quickly (the pc manufacturer not enigmatic keeper Delroy Preddie)

 

Anyhow, back tot he subject matter, of course OK Computer should be in there, it was one place too low IMHO. I love Nevermind but I think RH's effort is probably the most impressive album I've ever heard, hence being number 1.

[Chubbhead EFM]

Oasis must have been in there surely?

Talking of Oasis I heard The Libertines new song today and whenever I hear one of their songs I get the same buzz I got of songs from Def.Maybe. I swear to God they are one of the best new bands around at the moment.

 

[SteveP]

haven't seen the list yet, but I would think What's The Story would be in the top 10 somewhere.

[Bald_Eagle]

The only track thats got me 'believing in really good f**king music again' In the last 5 years was Moving by Supergrass, Average band.........wicked tune, up there with the best I reckon.

BTW With the exception of 'Wickerman' by pulp.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Ok.. from memory...

 

Oasis - Def Maybe (8)

Oasis - Morning Glory (18)

Radiohead - Bends (4)

Eminem - Marshall Mathers (5)

Nirvana - In Utero (11)

 

Err... Choke by the Beautiful South didn't make it.

 

Neither did Abbey Road which has surprised me a lot. Should be in the Top 10, never mind the Top 100.

 

No Carter, Mr Thorns.

 

 

[mdetaylor]

Bald Eagle comes up trumps again - Beautiful South, top band (City could do with a band fronted by a man with hooligan links)

 

I dare not mention Deaf Leppard (terrible band, terrible spelling on my part I think, Joe Elliott - legend)

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Isn't Joe Elliot a Wednesday fan??

 

 

[mdetaylor]

No the guitarist is (see last month's 4-4-2)

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Bloody hell, these threads don't 'arf disappear quickly. This was about 50th one day and it's only two days old.

 

Anyway, here it is. Ones I have I've put in bold...

Missed one, Pink Floyd - The Wall

[SteveP]

I got 47, really should get the Sex Pistols one

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

You don't have the Sex pistols CZ!!!!

A few questions and observations:

Will the Strokes be number 9 in 5 years?

The Verve (39) was probably in the Top 5 in the last poll

What the hell are Pearl Jam doing there (42)

Wrong Massive Attack album (56)

Alicia Keys, Vines, Linkin Park, DJ Shadow, Ryan adams piss off!

CZ you need to get Doolittle by the Pixies.

 

I only have 20 of them albums

[R Zimmerman]

I don't know about Free All Angels by Ash, 1977 is a much better album

[Laz]

I have 8, 22, 41, 43, 45, 48, 53, 58, 63, 68, 72, 74, 80 and 83.

 

Unfortunately, I stepped on my copy of 58 in a drug crazed stupor and it doesn't play anymore. I really should bung it in the bin. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/bounceblue.gif" alt="" />

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Couldn't believe that in the last one I had 60-odd and now I only have 33.

 

I remember in the '97 poll, "Be Here Now" came higher than "Def Maybe"!!

 

"Abbey Road" was Top 10 in the last poll, nowhere to be seen now!! An album that's 33 years old does not lose that much popularity between it's 28th and 33rd year of release!!

 

You're correct about The Verve, and Alicia, DJ Shadow etc.

 

I refuse to believe that the fact I have only 33 of the Top 100 means I'm losing touch in music.

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Polls are [****!!****] and mean nothing.

 

I think we should stop talking about this!

 

Laz - Sometimes after a drug fueled night you're memory does becomes a broken blur!!!! <img src="/forums/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Laz]

I could go and buy the rest Saturday, what would it cost?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

About £1100. Small change, do it!
