High Contrast - High Society
Pixies - Doolittle
Radiohead - The Bends
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
At the drive-in - Relationship of Command
Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Daft Punk - Discovery
Task Force - Music From The Corner 3

Roni Size and Reprazent - New Forms
Nirvana - In Utero
My Vitriol - Finelines
Fugazi - 13 Songs
The Clash - The Clash
Ash - 1977

best 25 ever, ben? some of those alubms are aight, but not exactly revolutionarly (bloc party, taskforce, glc, stills, killers).

i have 5 of sonic's list.

[Simon Pieman]

it's all down to a matter of opnion. people rate albums differently. who said that they had to be revolutionary?

[Ben Wah Balls]

No they are my top 25, mainly the ones I listen to most rather than any other criteria. The Bloc Party album is truly great and easily in the best 100 albums ever.

[Ben Wah Balls]

The real list had Madonna in the top 10 and also guns and roses, neither come close to anything in my list. There's not really anything particularly revolutionary about Definitely Maybe, the Joshua Tree  Appetite for Destruction or most of the top 10 anyway.

Nice choices Sonic-apart from the limp-wristed and oh so fey Belle and Sebastian.No Nick Cave in the top 100-scandalous.My no 1 would be Zappa's "Hot Rats"

no shit.

my top 25 "favourite albums" list would be different to my top 25 "greatest albums".

Shame  

if there's anything you had on vinyl you'd like on CD, just tell me and I'll make a copy in exchange for a bottle of water, or something  

My top 25 are albums I've either listened to a lot, really enjoyed over a lengthy period of time or mean a lot to me. There's stuff in there I don't really listen to anymore (Manics being the main one) but I had them in. If I remade my list to my top 25 of all time, I'd probably end up putting stuff like The Bends and Parklife in, even though they're nothing special.

How can you do that?

so you'd have YOUR top 25 albums and a separate list of what you think other peoples are?

[Reg Smeeton]

If you take out the element of ranking, then the 100 is a pretty good cross section of music from the last 50 or so years.

  When considering all the 1000's there are to pick from.  

  As an estimate I would say there were only about 15 acts here which I don't have something from, either on vinyl cassette CD or mp3.

no, i'd have my top 25 greatest albums ever and my 25 favourite albums ever; i think there's a difference because although i might really love glc's greatest hits, for example, i wouldn't ever consider putting it on a GREATEST albums list.

Well no 'cos the manifesto's better.
