Telegraph 100 Greatest Albums, at least they got No1 right

Obviously Spice Girls should be number 1 though.

 

RE: I have 12 of those...

God knows what Megans thoughts are - just finished her GCSE's so I suppose it will be mainly cider. When she figures out where she will be and what she'll be doing next year then we might have a chance.

 

Would agree that 90% of the albums deserve to be there, albeit in a different order. For starters, Abbey Road at no. 14 SHOULD be at the top...faultless. Definitely Maybe no.1, good but not that good, I personally preferred Morning Glory. The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, Snow Patrol...all good albums, but I doubt they'll be on the list in a couple of years time. These kind of polls tend to reflect current musical trends to some extent, 12 months ago I'm sure Keane and Razorlight would have been in the top 20. And where's Milli Vanilli...?

 

What a pile of sh ite !

Where's Shirley Bassey?

 

It looks like they've....

....copied all the other "Top 100's" and muddled them about a bit, then thought - "ooh I don't like some of these. Put Top of the Tops on and whoever's on I'll chuck in".

Kaiser Chiefs, The Strokes and Keane in the top 100 of all time? And fecking Kasabian? Green Day? The list goes on.

The Darkness Permission to Land. No. 1.

 

AC/DC

Back in Black - No 80

 

Edited!

 

Not even the best AC/DC album

Similarly

Metallica (The Black Album) - not the best Metallica album
American Idiot - not the best Green Day album

 

Back in Black...

...is fantastic.

Young/Johnson doesn't live up to Young/Scott though, IMHO.

"If you want blood....You've got it" = best live Album of all time.

 

Quality posting - we agree on this!

 

RE: Back in Black...

Highway To Hell - best AC/DC album imo.

Best live album - Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous or UFO - Strangers In The Night

 

Well, being the telegraph is totally over looks artists like Jay-Z whose Black Album and The Blue Print (particularly The Blue Print) are stunning. Also more recently Kanye West The College Drop Out, which is just incredibly good. Don't get me wrong, I'm not touting them for number one, but there's more creative merit in it than 'Spice World' by the Spice Girls. I'd also put Fleetwood Mac 'Rumours' higher up the chart too - not fashionable I dare say, but an extremely good album.

Basically I think these lists are crap (having said that I'm responding so what the hell, they must have some value). The people who write them are always too heavily influenced by whatever is being marketed in the current day, and when they run out of ideas they start throwing in decent modern albums that nobody will remember in ten years time. Ten years ago the Lightning Seeds and Sleeper would have been in there. Ok maybe not.

 

Racists

I think you have to go down to 35 before you find a black artists, and even then I'm not sure about that!

 

RE: Back in Black...

Agree with Highway to Hell as studio album.

Thin Lizzy is also a classic, I'm just biased as "If you want blood" is the first album I bought that got me into proper rock music.

New studio album and World Tour next year, alledgedly.

 

RE: Racists

Doesn't that make you racist for bringing colour into it though? I though it was about music not race.

 

RE: Back in Black...

Not been bothered with AC/DC since Back in Black

 

To it's credit

I may be wrong here but a quick look over the list it doesn't appear there are any "live" albums or "best of" compilations.......so at least in that respect it's a decent "Greatest Albums" list.

 

RE: To it's credit

Its.

No possessive apostrophes for pronouns.

That's for putting me in the nets, you git.

 

Ok Ok

You can play up front if you like!

 

why do they put Oasis at the top when the industry charts clearly show Michael Jacksons Thriller and the beatles Sgt Pepper to be well over their sales...even AC/DC black on Black album outsold them too....strange
