What can be said about this album that hasn't already been said? Timeless record, the lyrics are poetry and the music itself really makes you feel something. The first three songs are breathtaking, and the one dud track (Never Had No One Ever) would be seen as passable on any other album. That's how good this album is.

The lads from Sheffield shocked the world with this frantic and frankly unbelievable debut, one of the fastest selling in British history and for good reason. Believe the hype. [First added to this chart: 09/07/2014]

The first commercially successful album to really push boundaries in terms of its sound in my opinion. From start to finish you realise you're listening to something special, and barring the occasional track (Doctor Robert, Yellow Submarine) this album is innovative in the extreme. The opening and closing tracks are the two cleverest. [First added to this chart: 09/07/2014]

This album is all over the place, its bizarre, there are some poor tracks (which is expected on an album of this magnitude) but underneath that its chaos is something to be admired and treasured. Oh, and when this album is good, it's fantastic. [First added to this chart: 09/07/2014]

I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard this album. It was at a party, I was pretty close to passing out, about 2:00am and the house was quiet in the extreme apart from this album. As with the White Album, its chaos is something to be admired (Heroin is a massive standout) and in terms of innovation, you can't really get more innovative than this.

Another album that justifies its inclusion as the best Radiohead album although so many would disagree and say it was Ok Computer. The lyrics and the songwriting exhibited on Ok Computer may be better, yes, but the sounds on Kid A are unbeatably good. [First added to this chart: 08/07/2015]

Finest album of its genre, its difficult to find a bad track. While the album itself doesn't push any boundaries in terms of its sound, this album has a true and undeterring soul. Kurt Cobain is a fine songwriter. [First added to this chart: 09/07/2014]

The finest dance album of all time...Daft Punk are THE pioneers of 21st Century dance music, and One More Time can rock dancefloors 15 years later. Barring the obvious tracks, Face To Face is a highlight and Daft Punk prove that they have a sense of humour with the self-referential 'Too Long' (10 minutes long). Dance music doesn't get much better than this. [First added to this chart: 04/07/2015]
