The Top 50 British Albums Ever

[Don Jacob]

all of those albums are great albums , but the placement and rank of them are all wrong.

[Michael]

Dark Side of The Moon only #9??

i hated Keane as well... 

[Jip]

cant believe keane are in that list, they are terrible

[Tommy Illnigga]

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

I would like to see some more Led Zeppelin tough

[white Boy]

cant believe keane are in that list, they are terrible

and oasis is amazing, arguably the best band in the 90s/00s other than radiohead. also david bowie's hundy dory at 42? the man who sold the world didnt even make it! artictic monkeys WPSITWIN deserves to be on the list but above white album!?! also favorite worse nightmare def doesnt, shit is so wattever....cream??the animals? the KINKS!!! the hollies? VAN MORRISON?!? (hes irish so i still think you should count him) , U2?? ... w/e magazines cant make lists and def shouldnt number albums

[Javier]

Some of the order and choices are absurd, but hey that's usually what happens when a group of people compile a list.  Why would Van Morrison and U2 be on the the Top 50 British albums?

[white Boy]

i just clump all of them together, europe is just one big island for me, also van is from northern ireland which is uk's, so wouldnt that could

[No Compute]

europe is just one big island for me

lmao @ some of the statements white boy made here

[Paul]

NO STREETS!!!!

original pirate material and a grand dont come for free are unbelievable albums

[everlast1986]

I like those Muse, Radiohead, Oasis, and The Arctic Monkeys albums but not enough to put ahead of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Zeppelin. Where the fuck is Black Sabbath - 'Master Of Reality' and 'Paranoid'?

[white Boy]

^ good call, paranoid is a def top 25,

john lennon - plastic oko band & imagine
fleetwood mac - rumors
 oh, and im glad someone mentioned the streets, they should be in like top 15

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

Actually agree with Oasis at 1 and 2. Oasis changed my life. lol

Some classic albums on there for sure.

And Oasis are by no stretch of the imagination "Pop".

NO STREETS!!!!

original pirate material and a grand dont come for free are unbelievable albums

forgot about that!

lol at some of white boy's posts: Not trying to offend you, but why should you consider an Irish album British? Do you consider Canadian albums US-American or Russian albums Chinese because the countries border each other? But you're correct about Northern Ireland having to count. And it's called "Plastic Ono Band" by the way...but you get a prop for mentioning it 

And Oasis are by no stretch of the imagination "Pop".

of course they are. i won't charge you with anything before i'm sure, but somehow on internet forums and also elsewhere, there is a widespread notion that labelling something or someone "pop" is implicitly derogatory. Pop is short for "popular music"; Radiohead are an elaborate pop band. 50 Cent is a pop star. The Beatles are pop icons. I usually call something "pop" when I don't see it in another clearly definable category. Like I said, Oasis' first 2 albums were great pop albums. "Definitely Maybe" had a slightly post-grungy post-shoegazing post-post-punk rock feel to it, "Morning Glory" developed this into a more intricate and sophisticated style, inserting elements from other genres, and at the same time including some very mass-appealing production ("Wonderwall", "Don't Look Back in Anger")......not feeling like digging too deep into that type of stuff, you can refer to this music as pop and there's no need to stretch your imagination the slightest bit. And I guess you have heard the term "Britpop", which Oasis are commonly associated with.

As for the streets, dude is great, but just not big enough to compete with the legends and superstars up there. Dizzee Rascal, fuhgeddaboutit
