I wouldn't have put OK computer at the top - it is good but the top not for me personally.

So what is your greatest album?

Thanks for that - i was wondering what came number one as i could'nt stay awake much after number 20!

As for my fave, i really cannot decide - out of the ones on there last night, perhaps Stone Roses or The Eagles.

I haven't released one yet

Not likely to either since I have the musical talent of "The Streets".

For me, all the following are in contention for the top spot. Very difficult to choose just one!

Rubber Soul, The Beatles
Appetite For Destruction, Guns N Roses
Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys
Sheer Heart Attack, Queen
Nevermind, Nirvana

I like Radiohead and have all their albums, but I prefer The Bends to OK Computer and neither would make my top 10.

"Ten" by Pearl Jam. Every track a masterpiece.

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Must have listened to it about 10 times this weekend, however i'm liable to change my mind any second to Eagles - Hotel california or even the Killers - hot fuss, purely because the latter holds so many great memories.

Cheers,
Rob.

'A Rush Of Blood To The Head' - Coldplay
'()' - Sigur Ros

The above two would be my numbers 1 and 2, although I'm not sure I could put an order on them!

BTW, I also think 'Ten' by Pearl Jam is immense, and 'Black' would be in my all-time five fave tracks!

I was amased that "Machine head" or "Hotel California" were nowhere near the top

And only one Pink Floyd album in the top 50

Probably my top choice although Moving Pictures by Rush would be close too.

Where did U2s Achtung Baby come in? IMO it's probably one of the most complete albums ever (even though it's not my top one).

Alanis Morrisette at 16?

F*ck right off.

Probably Orbital - Brown for me, cant believe Fat Of The Land got in and nothing by Orbital or The Chems did.

Explains a lot

Indeed it does.

OK Computer is a cracking album, but better and more significant than DSOTM and Four Symbols?

I think not.
