Well, the national press in Britain (either
yesterday or the day before, can't remember) reprinted a Top 100 list taken from
this month's Q Magazine. They got a people to vote over 18 months to decide on
the Top 100 albums of all time. The results were, to be frank, a little
perplexing. Number One was, unsurprisingly, The Beatles' 'Revolver'. I don't
particularly like The Beatles, but I recognise that this was a good album.
Similarly with the number two, Radiohead (can't remember the album title OK
Computer or something!!).
Well, I scrolled down the list... and
down... and down... no Madness. That's not too surprising, thought I, their
best-selling album was a compilation (not included for obvious reasons). So, I
decided to have a look to see who else wasn't in there.
Now, bearing in mind that everyone has
their own differing tastes, you still know where certain albums are likely to
appear. Oasis were in the Top Ten, and Queen weren't (I thought, strangely). The
Doors only scrape the Top 100!! And one of the definitive albums of the early
80s Paul Simon's 'Graceland' isn't there at all!! Anyway, to have a look for
yourself (and perhaps a chuckle or two) point them meeces to:
