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 benRAB. and the joshua tree nuraber 2? nevermind pisses all over it.

a) it's if dookie WERE nuraber 1 - the subjunctive
b) i in no way think dookie is the best album ever released, it features many of my favourite songs but as an album it doesn't come close to some of the other albums in my collection. metallica for example have had better.
 
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!
 
i would say probably the red light district album by ludacris or the college dropout by kanye west or Kings of Crunk by Lil Jon and the east side boyz or crunk juice......
 
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
