Prefer MUSE to Radiohead. Good to see AFD is up there, maybe the next time Chinese Democracy will be in the top 10 too!  |

They sure missed the mark on that list. No Motley Crue - but yet they have HUMAN LEAGUE on the list.   |

OK Computer is amazing (so is The Bends) but everything else after that is horrible...
Its a shame to see a band go from good to bad like that...

Even the biggest Radiohead fan in the world has to admit that their record sticks out like a sore thumb on that list. Especially at #1!  |

you know i've heard that number mentioned as weekly sales... also heard 5,000 mentioned it'd be cool to see the actual 'up to date' #s and yeah... its great to see AFD recognized  |

i voted for Appetite 10 times, i was just happy it made it into the top 10. GnR can't be Number 1 at everything you know.

Ditto to RKD
Whoa Denis. No big deal. Taste differs. I like those albums too but I don't expect them to make the top 6 of all time n genres outside the UK (and maybe France ?).

Radiohead was rated as having the greatest album ever in the UK? How shocking. |

Here missing clasics like Black Metallica, Deep Purple, The Wall of Pink Floyd and etc. atleast its better than the obligatory "nevermind" at number one. Believe it or not, since you were not canvassed for your vote then this poll does not represent you. Your disagreeing is understandable as music is a largely cultural phenomenon. So don't get angry. Both radiohead and oasis have been the two most influential bands in britain over the last decade, so their being highly placed is understandable. Look at polls from france and they include french bands up their with the beatles, rolling stones etc yet they'll be unknown outside france. Same goes for most countries. And your generalisations about the english are exactly what i'd expect from a lazy, fat american/arrogant frenchy/efficient german/etc (delete as applicable) But from someone who obviously has it in for radiohead i wouldn't expect a great deal of tolerance..... |

Any time Nevermind DOESN'T get the top spot in a poll is good, but I don't think a Radiohead album is any better. I mean, of all time???!!! Give me a break. Better to at least go with obligatory Beatles album at #1. |
