Why does Q always have to be a douchebag and choose albums just so people will get angry? Everyone knows the only good thing Oasis ever did was....

[chilli pepper]

MORE SABBATH. MORE MAIDEN. the rest of it.....meh?

[one_crow_sorrow]

Oasis at #1 being higher than Revolver and the Sex Pistols being higher than Led Zeppelin automatically make this list a piece of shit not even worth reading the whole thing. And where the hell is Zeppelin II?!?

[Jerk Shapiro]

HA!

One Who album and not even LZ's Untitled...


What SHIT.

[Erin123]

Amen Jerk Shapiro and one_crow_sorrow...what crap!

Sex Pistols before Sabbath?! Oasis before Queen?!?! pfffft :rolleyes:

you know what i don't think the list is that bad some great album's on there,some very ordinary ones too,but at least there is not your usual phil collins,police,george micheal middle of the road crap on there,it's quite a diverse list,everything from rap to heavy rock.

My thoughts exactly.

Glad to see Different Class getting a mention mind.

Same goes for...

OK Computer
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
The Queen Is Dead
The Stone Roses
My Generation
Closer
Hounds of Love
Bryter Layter
For Your Pleasure
Original Pirate Material
Dare
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
New Boots and Panties!!
Origin of Symmetry

:D

[Psychocandy]

Any list of best British albums that doesn't recognise The Jesus And Mary Chain's Psychocandy is a sorry fucking sight indeed. At least Disintegration made it onto the list (though it should be higher...grumble...mumble...grumble...)

[LoomisFan]

1. Oasis - Definitely Maybe
...
...
...
...
6. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Starddust and the Spiders from Mars


Wait... What?! Sure, Oasis is cool, but...Bowie, man! He deserves to be higher! And Disinegration at number 48?! What the Hell?!
Of course, these are just MY opinions...

What SHIT.

I feel the pain. There should at least be another Who album, and two more Zep albums.


Besides that, the albums on the list are cool, the order in which they are in makes me sick.
