A lot of the albums up for nomination are not even the best work from the associated artists.

I don't think it is wise to fill in the 'five other suggestions' totally from albums by Moz or The Smiths, although it could easily be done.

My other five :-

Vauxhall and I
Led Zeppelin 3
Overnite Sensation - The Mothers of Invention
Low - David Bowie
Doremi Faso Latido - Hawkwind (The ultimate space rock album)

I think both 'Meat is Murder' and 'The Smiths' are better than 'The queen is dead' anyway. However, I think Channel Four's polls always look for the acceptable. Maybe there should be two polls, the first for multi-million selling 'products' and one for serious albums of historic music. This would mean that we would not have the likes of 'Thriller,' 'Bat out of hell' and the publicity driven offerings from Madonna to deal with.

I am sure not everybody, including myself, would agree with all choices outside of the Jackson/Madonna etc... shite, but at least they would be more valid opinions.

Hoorah! Anal Lists! (Score:1)

Well, I luvem, don`t know about you!

Anyway, here were my choices

Blondie - Parallel Lines
The Clash - London Calling
David Bowie - Hunky Dory
The Jam - All Mod Cons
Joy Division – Closer
Lou Reed – Transformer
Patti Smith – Horses
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
The Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground And Nico

Ian Dury, Madness and New Order just nudged out there.

And the five that should have got in?

I chose

"Pink Flag" Wire
"Your Arsenal" Morrissey
"Grotesque" The Fall
"Raw Power" Iggy
"Another Music In A Different Kitchen" Buzzcocks

Okay there's other Smiths albums but I think we've got out "contender" there, I think "Unknown Pleasures" is better than "Closer" and I think Half Man Half Biscuit are the third best band ever but I`m being tactical here. Just about left out The Ramones' and Siouxsie's first too.

CHRIST I enjoyed that!!!
