Good old Melody Maker. For me, the definitive music magazine from the mid-80s through mid-90s and then they lost the plot a bit. Some of which is evident from this chart. Lack of The Cure -- a band that routinely topped their end of year polls throughout the aforementioned period -- is criminal. But overall, not a bad chart.

I find it interesting that a major UK publication seems to be unaware of music across the Atlantic. It's a little UK bias.

Sgt. Pepper isn't on here. I don't think it's one of the best albums, but it's a better album than freaking Nevermind!

Very good. A great mix of sixties-ninetees albums. Just to mention a few albums I love very much - Blur's Parklife and especially Modern life is rubbish is amazing to see here, Stone Roses' debut on the #2 is a superb choice too as it is MBV's Loveless. The La's brilliant LP is the biggest surprise here.
It is far more what I've expected from Melody Maker.
