1: Radiohead - OK Computer
2: Radiohead - The Bends
3: Nirvana - Nevermind
4: The Beatles - Revolver
5: Oasis - Definitely Maybe
6: The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
7: R.E.M - Automatic For The People
8: Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory
9: U2 - Achtung Baby
10: Radiohead - Kid A
11: U2 - The Joshua Tree
12: The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
13: Jeff Buckley - Grace
14: The Beatles - Abbey Road
15: Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
16: The Verve - Urban Hymns
17: The Beatles - The Beatles
18: The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
19: The Beatles - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
20: The Clash - London Calling

Vauxhall & I comes in at 89; Strangeways is listed as a "Flawed Classic", with Unhappy Birthday described as "downright shoddiness". Hmmm.

Wow, finally some recognition for Vauxhall!

Do you have the entire top 100? Or know where i can find it?
 
I am so sick of these silly lists these Magazines contrive.
I'll admit that Radiohead had something with those 2 albums - but
they are far from being the best of all time!
The lyrics are balderdash.
 
What the heck is everyone's big deal with Radiohead?? Did I miss something?? I think they're perfect albums... to fall asleep to. Nice, mellow, even beautiful in some aspects - but puuuuleeaase - the best albums of all time??

But then again, who buys Q magazine?? (No offense, mate.....)

Thanks for posting it, anyway....

Mimi - I couldn't agree with you more.
That's exactly what I did while listening to those albums.
 
Most of the Q readers have no f***ing clue what good music is...proof positive with the first 2 picks...Radiohead? they havent done anything worth a shit. f*** Thom Yorke.

U2 should not have two albums so high up either
 
blah!

i still think hatful of hollow is far better than he queen is dead, qnd i love unhappy birthday! oh well, each to his own
 
How bloody dare they, are they all under the age of consent who vote in this shitty pole

Long Term Memory Loss?

Sadly, just no memory whatsoever of legends such as Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy.

Southbound
Cowboy Song
Rosalie
Don't Believe A Word
Sarah (aaahhh still brings tears to the one eye left)

Blah de blah de radiohead shitty blah...

Lynott died at 36 but can still write better than that other heroin filled excuse for an excuse ever will.

Pete who?

Gabriel? No, not that good I'm afraid.

It's insulting to see Kid A ranked as a better album than The Queen Is Dead.

London Calling would wipe the floor with 3/4 of that list
 
"1: Radiohead - OK Computer
2: Radiohead - The Bends"

YEAH f***ING RIGHT !
Stupid Q magazine.
