Q's top British albums of the past 50 years

[YellowBook]

Just posting in case noone else has seen (the top 50 is at www.q4music.com.)

1) Definitely Maybe - Oasis
2) (What's the Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis
3) OK Computer - Radiohead
4) Revolver - Beatles
5) The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
6) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Beatles
7) London Calling - The Clash
8) Under the Iron Sea - Keane
9) Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
10) Urban Hymns - The Verve

Interesting chart posted by Q but very mainstream and no nuggets in there. Oasis and Keane in the top 10 ruins it for me.

Im sorry but that is one of the worst charts I have seen in my life. Oasis are ok, but they aren't even near to the top 100 of the british albums.
And Kean on number eight??? Jesus
If Oasis are a clone of an original band, Keane are clones of clones. They can't get more generic than that.

The other ones are ok for me.

Nos 11-50 are not that bad. There are also some choices I wouldn't include, but taking the fact that this list is created by the readers, it is pretty decent.

[Hector Gilbert]

Did they make the list themselves or did their readers vote on it?

[bc1991]

The readers are the ones who vote on it.

[Hector Gilbert]

It's not terribly surprising then, or particularly interesting. It just epitomises the demographic of people voting on Q's poll

Back to my own listening...

[NowhereMan]

The fact that Oasis are higher than there fathers, the beatles is laughable
