What was just voted the best album ever....

[Drudge]

Radiohead's 'OK Computer' has been voted the greatest album of all time in a poll by Channel 4 viewers.
The 1997-opus beat the likes of the Beatles' 'Revolver', REM's 'Automatic For The People' and Oasis' 'Definitely Maybe' to the crown.

Viewers may have been struck by the consideredness of the charts, with the likes of Talking Head's 'Fear Of Music' in the charts, and Robbie Williams languishing at 91. It was all very confusing. In fact, the only two things that made DiS News spew bile were the fact that Alanis Morissette was at no.16(!!!!) and Pet Sounds was only no.33. Disgraceful.

The top 20 is as follows, and you can check the full 100 at the Channel 4 site here:

1. RADIOHEAD - OK Computer
2. U2 - The Joshua Tree
3. NIRVANA - Nevermind
4. MICHAEL JACKSON - Thriller
5. PINK FLOYD - Dark Side of the Moon
6. OASIS - Definitely Maybe
7. THE BEATLES - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
8. MADONNA - Like a Prayer
9. GUNS N' ROSES - Appetite For Destruction
10. THE BEATLES - Revolver
11. R.E.M. - Automatic for the People
12. THE BEATLES - The White Album
13. QUEEN - A Night at the Opera
14. COLDPLAY - Parachutes
15. OASIS - (What's the Story) Morning Glory
16. ALANIS MORISSETTE - Jagged Little Pill
17. LED ZEPPELIN - Led Zeppelin IV
18. THE VERVE - Urban Hymns
19. JIMI HENDRIX - Are you Experienced
20. THE SMITHS - The Queen Is Dead

Its an british pole so there will be little hip hop in it.

I did own ok computer but gave it away as i never liked it, i personally believe thriller should have won it.

Thriller the best album off all time? You guys clearly haven't listened to enough albums. I have hundreds of albums and I still would never dare choose a best album of all time because I haven't listen to every album. If I were to do so THriller would be no where near no.1. Shit, it's not even the best MJ album, Off The Wall is.

NO DR DRE - THE CHRONIC

NO DR DRE - THE CHRONIC 

Open your eyes... It might be a supreme album for hiphop, but there's more music outside of that.

Where's Obie Trice's Cheers? 

[white Boy]

[Just Another Sunny day in California]

JIMI HENDRIX - Are you Experienced, this should be top 10 no doubt

[West Coast Veteran]

Bob Marley - Legend
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life
Tupac Shakur - Me Against The World

[Don Jacob]

it doesn't have to be deverse i love rap music but between the catalouges of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and the Beatles you have 2 times as many classic albums between these 3 groups than in all of hip hop....true shit.

it´s not such a bad list, but you do notice very well it´s british. "Ok Computer" is great - amazing, but best ever, naw IMO. But really, we could argue for a long, long time, and there are few persons who agree with such lists....Rolling Stone USA had "Sgt. Peppers" on no. 1, that was more or less cool with me, Rolling Stone Germany had "Blonde On Blonde" there, which i disagree with too, plus they almost dickrode Dylan (a great artist no doubt) throughout the whole list...right here Dylan didn´t make a top 20, the Beach Boys and Bruce Springsteen didn´t, they were all Rolling Stone top 10...and are all American. In Rolling Stone though, the best Pink Floyd album was no. 97, which i find very inadequate...so yeah, there´s always people missing, people you think they´re overrated, etc...so well, overall, i don´t think this list´s that bad
