I went for Clap Your Hand Say Yeah, but XTC was close. Not keen on Jam or George personally, others I haven't heard (yet).

I'd say The Jam, but only just. Bob Dylan, XTC and George Michael are very close.

I love The Reminder, Sunflower, English Settlement, A Weekend In The City & Faith but this is the only instance where Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah would win me over.

From that list i went with Sunflower. I would not put any of those in my top 1000 albums though. Not even sure any would be all that close.

It gets my vote. #Canada.

Just outside the top 1000 is too high for the 2nd Law. Muse was running out of good ideas at that point. Not ideas, just good ones.

Pump is a guilty pleasure. Cheesy, but a good time.

Love and Theft is great, but...

It was a toss up between Pump, Muse, XTC and The Jam.
Then I spotted George Michael.
I love that album. Its totally cool.
So Faith got my vote.

Sound Affects by The Jam for me. It's got 2 classics in That's Entertainment and Start, but the rest of the album is good too with songs like Man In The Cornershop, and Pretty Green.

The only album I've come back to listen to was 2nd Law. I've listened to at least 80% of those, and only came back to 2nd Law for more. It's totally deserving to be not in the top 1000 though... probably fine where it is.

Eh, if I had to listen to one of those albums today I would pick Sunflower.

Yeah. Can't argue with that really (and the first album is surprisingly good, right?) They were getting a bit silly by the time of Pump, but it's just a lot of fun really and I think one of the best classic rock albums of the 80s.

I wanted to vote for Sunflower and Pump really. Both belong right up there!

Had to go with Sunflower. Second best Beach Boys album (Surf's Up can take a hike!) and the best one if you start to grow out of Pet Sounds.

Out of the seven I've heard I had to go with the Dylan album. Probably his last true classic, although a few albums since have been pretty fun.

I made a poll similar to this one about a year ago, but now there's a new crop of albums just out of reach of the top 1000, so I figured why not make the poll again.

These Albums are ranked 1,001st to 1,010th
