Recently C4 TV and The Rock FM compiled a list of what they think are the 100 greatest rock albums of all time. I thought I would post the list here for general discussion. By recently I mean it aired on C4 between Christmas and New Years (I think Boxing Day (26th December)), I have been trying to get a copy of the list as I want to buy some of the featured albums, However have only just come across it on The Rock FM's website. They (C4 TV) also done the 100 best songs of 2005, I am still trying to hunt that one out. However I remember the winner was Gorillaz - Dare. Anyway read down the list some very very famous bands and ablums that propelled them to super star status. Just post thoughts, comments etc.

Really really really bad list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nirvana's Nevermind being the number one album of all time?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

U2 and Rage Against the Machines ahead of Dark Side of the Moon? First Zeppelin album at number 15?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would understand maybe if they took out all the albums pre 90s and called the list "Top 100 Greatest Albums of the 90s"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My list up to 20:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Led Zeppelin-Led Zeppelin IV

 

 

 

2. Beatles-Revolver

 

 

 

3. Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon

 

 

 

4. The Who-Who's Next

 

 

 

5. Jimi Hendrix Experience-Are you Experienced?

 

 

 

6. Led Zeppelin-Led Zeppelin II

 

 

 

7. Beatles-White Album

 

 

 

8. Pink Floyd-The Wall

 

 

 

9. Beatles-Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Hearts Band Club

 

 

 

10. Jimi Hendrix Experience-Electric Ladyland

 

 

 

11. AC/DC-Back in Black

 

 

 

12. Led Zeppelin-Houses of the Holy

 

 

 

13. The Eagles-Hotel California

 

 

 

14. Rolling Stones-Let it Bleed

 

 

 

15. The Beatles-Abbey Road

 

 

 

16. The Doors-The Doors

 

 

 

17. Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath

 

 

 

18. Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here

 

 

 

19. London Calling-The Clash

 

 

 

20. Disreali Gears-Cream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

just my opinion though.

I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.

Yeah exactly what i was thinking. Really I think the black album is overrated. None of their greatest works are really in there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but i'd also like to point out Green Day's american idiot is at number 20 lol.

Not really a great list. Haven't heard too much from it to be honest, so I could be completelty wrong of course, but there seems to be somekind of lack of 'rock history' in that list.

I generally hate all these "Top whatever" polls that websites and tv shows do. They seem to be different every week and they always put really rubbish ones in really high up and leave classics out the list completely.

That list might as well be "most commercially popular rock albums of all time" as opposed to best.

 

 

 

I like Nirvana, but there's no way they deserve to have the top spot. Aside from that, they released 2 albums that are easily better than Nevermind.

Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.

Any 'top whatever' lists are pure opinion. That̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s why I never take them seriously and only as a representation of a person/few people's musical tastes. Though IMO, that list is one of the worst I̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ve ever looked at. :shock:

Channel 4 are obsessed with these lately. They're running out of things to vote on too, so look out for "Top 100 surgical mis-haps"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jacko's gotta be a contender.

 

 

 

Lately? They've been doing them for years now. I've learned to take each one of them with a pinch of salt :P

Nevermind is first?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nevermind sucks. Sure as hell didn't impress ME, anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They also didn't mention Deep Purple. Machine Head was a Great album! Smoke On The Water, Space Truckin'...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Number of the Beast was way up the list. Shoulda been farther down, in my opinion. And what about Maiden's self titled album? It was pretty groundbreaking then.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bah. It's all based on opinion.

It really has

Edit: Nvm, missed something out on the list.
