[NobodyButMe]

are there many british hip hop acts?

[Elevz]

Oasis at the #1 and #2 spot? Ridiculous. There's really good albums on the list though.

[Invincible]

Thre are surprisingly quite a few but none are particularly well known. I can't stand british rap because I don't like the accent of them rapping because I'm used to American rap.. And I am from England.

[No Compute]

That's a hilariously shit list.

[Elevz]

That's a hilariously shit list.

Come come now... A Night At The Opera maybe should have been put higher, and Oasis damn sure aren't that good, but the Brits tend to think otherwise.

Lmao Oasis over Beatles, Oasis over Pink Floyd, Oasis over CLash. I aint even a rock fan and i can tell you this list is fucked up. DOnt think there is any really good UK albums, maybe Skinnyman or Dizzee Rascal's Boy in Da Corner. But overall didnt expect to see any british urban acts. Maybe a Gorrillaz album coulda been up there cause they're dope

LMFAO. I sure hope you didn't really expect to see Skinnyman or Dizzee Rascal on there. And it's a common fact that Oasis is grossly overrated by the British audience... But other than that, how is this list really fucked up? The whole thing is filled with timeless classics!

FOR THE MOST PART HIP HOP SUCKS AND I WOULDN'T CONSIDER IT MUSIC EITHER.

[da_notorious_mack]

the beatles are more over rated than oasis imo

[No Compute]

There are a lot of great albums on the list but there is some stuff on there which doesn't fit, mostly the recent stuff. The order just seems way off.

But I haven't heard most of the albums on there so what the fuck do I know.

[white Boy]

i love oasis, and the brits at one point had the most amazing albums of the decade (60s) so beatles, zep, stones, floyd should rule the top 20-30, then we got room for oasis, radiohead, coldplay, all the rest..........

I don't think he really did expect that. I don't see how any British hiphop I've evere heard could make such a list. As for the rest, it's not that bad a list although stuff like Keane in the top 10, boring ass X&Y on here at all or "Urban Hymns" > "Abbey Road" is just  IMHO, but you never agree fully with such lists.

And as for Oasis, yes, they're blown outta proportion on here and no way they made the two best British albums ever, but don't hate. Those were two pretty good pop albums
