| #1 Posted on 20.6.04 1407.35 Reposted on: 20.6.11 1409.51 | While I know that arguing about lists is pointless, I still have to question The Stone Roses as the best album in British musical history. I own it. I like it. But the best ever? Any ways, here’s the top 10 British albums of all time as compiled by the Guardian with a link to the rest
1. The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses 2. The Beatles – Revolver 3. The Clash – London Calling 4. Van Morrison – Astral Weeks 5. The Beatles –Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band 6. The Beatles – The White Album 7. Rolling Stones – Sticky Fingers 8. Rolling Stones – Exile on Main Street 9. Massive Attack – Blue Lines 10. P.I.L. – Metal box

I'd go with 'Hysteria' myself. I'd like to see James' 'Laid' on the list.
Guys, Zeppelin's on the list three times.

They are but should be much higher based on what they meant. The Kinks are on the list but any group that literally invents power chord rock need an album in the top ten. As do the Yardbirds for what they accomplished and what it led to. | eviljonhunt81

And since The Slider is the greatest album ever, it would make a logical #1.
Edit: Wait a minute. 2 Dexy's Midnight Runner's albums? And not one Motorhead?

| #12 Posted on 21.6.04 1930.33 Reposted on: 21.6.11 1931.10 | Music critics LOATH hard rock, some of it which is deserved; yet they are always biased towards punk. Even though Zeppelin did many other styles then hard rock, they still get dragged down by the stigma. Of course Sabbath gets screwed again, PARANOID would make my top of anything, but can't get passed the 80's on this list. | eviljonhunt81

Really? If so, then where are The Adicts, Sham 69, Cocksparrer, the Buzzcocks, and the Anti-Nowhere League, all of whom have albums better than Never Mind the Bollocks . . .. While I agree completely that Sabbath got screwed (as did Motorhead), to say this list is biased towards punk is just wrong.
And where the fuck are the Pogues?!?!? | Eddie Famous
