Best Album Of All Time (revealed)

I already told you I like them, actually I love them, Radiator is already up there as one of my favorite 90s albums.

So yes, I thank Urban for getting me into them, but I guess I'm just not open minded enough to get into a lot of brit pop, most of it is pretty crap to me, and most of Urbans recomendations on that paticular field of music just didn't make a good impression on me.
 
1. I think that the NME have only included in this list for those reasons because that's the sort of magazine the NME is. Night At The Opera's acclaim before this is different.

2. I think if a band are tagged under a particular movement then it is bound to age badly, seeing as it is seen as a stereoypical example of a certain time in popular music. Pulp however, has aged much better than Blur or Oasis.
 
EDIT: Let me say that this is all in good debate and in no way am I attacking you. In fact, I respect your opinions for what they are, but I can't say I agree with most of them in the least. But I do sometimes get a bit aggressive in debating, let me assure you that this isn't personal, just a concious flow of thought - that being said... on with the post.

The fact that you call the last 13 studio albums of Queen bland astounRAB me to no end. Occasional experimenting? Some of the statements you are making are factually wrong, it's not even opinion based. I guess I don't know what to say to you...

Ok... let me throw this out there. I will say this again, I believe you are letting your preference for the first 2 albums define the band for you, which is FINE of course - I don't think that's wrong. But you are discounting the rest of their career, which is what I find to be... er... well, ignorant.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find more than ten people who share this opinion with you who know anything about music. You don't have to be obsessed with Queen to see the absolute inaccuracy written here.

Note: I'm not writing about your preference for the first 2 albums, or even that you think that they had "lost their edge". But if you don't think that the work that they did after Queen or Queen II was BOLD, DIFFERENT, or QUITE OUT THERE... then you simply are in the wrong.
 
Their debut went platinum in the U.S. & they had 3 hits off it, Big Me got to nuraber 3 on the U.S. charts. The Colour and The Shape had, Everlong, Monkey Wrench, My Hero and Walking After You, which was on the X-Files soundtrack. I've seen the Everlong video on MTV quite a bit. I'd consider that mainstream, and did you read my post at all? I wasn't just talking about MTV.

Their first officially album, was basically just Grohl the second is more considered their debut. Either way, both earlier albums.
 
maybe so, but THEY WERE COPYING NIRVANA:usehead:
meaning that Nirvana was a huge influence on music
as opposed to Radiohead who only used huge influences from other people's music
 
HAHAHA. WOW, sex pistols... better than radiohead? what mind altering drugs are you on? and nirvana made one very good album and performed a great acoustic set once, radiohead have consistently made very good albums for 11 years.
 
I would have to agree only because there is really no think outside the box reason to this..the beatles, led zeppelin is great..etc..but it all seems cliche..
 
This list is garbage.
The Strokes making any list of this sort is an atrocity.
Oasis made the list twice.
this is horrible.
If Nirvana can make the list The Foo Fighters should've been on there as well.

that's just my take on it
 
well i meant in terms of doing something different..umm, something more interesting or something the general people had quite heard before-like nirvana.

i dont really know what im trying to say...

And i love Chris Cornell, and he is doing something new with his latest solo-album, i cant wait to hear his cover of "Billy Jean" especially
 
I don't see why Definitely maybe couldn't be at nuraber 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 nuraber 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*
