And the ones in regular text, I have never heard before, but am guessing there's not much to them.

Are ye serious??? *shock*


You never heard "Hunky Dory" "Ziggy Stardust" "Wish You Were Here" "Exile On Main Street" and "Let It Bleed?"




Yeah i was suprised as well. As with all polls, it`s subjective to age, and taste. In my top 50 most of those albums would not be there. biggrin.gif

Anyone who thinks Absolution is brilliant and London Calling is ###### is in need of psychiatric help.

I disagree, Both are brilliant. Does that only make me half mad tongue.gif

While London Calling is a masterpiece, Absolution is merely good.

+1

They're in different leagues. There are a lot of very ordinary albums in that list, and a lot of great albums they missed out ("Village Green Preservation Society" anyone?).

That list is a pile of bollocks and this comes from a staunch Oasis fan.

Definitely Maybe deserves a place but no.1 is goin a bit too far, it kicks ass as an album but it is far too derivative, borders on pastiche and blatantly robs from other works.

The whole list is a popularity contest and is only really interesting from that one point of view, I suppose it is kinda cool to see what the general public are into.

Give me 3 reasons why. Honestly, it's not so bad.

There are only 3 songs less than 5 minutes long, and none less than 4 minutes long.

The songs are generally pretty average.

It's over-produced.


There's three reasons for you.
