Wow some strange choices there, the Arcade Fire album at #19? I wouldn't put any Arcade Fire album in a top 50.

I was surprised MellonCollie was ahead of Siamese Dream. I'd rate Siamese higher head to head. But then again if I put together an album of the best 12 MellonCollie songs (without all the fodder), would give it to that.
I can isn't on Illmatic, thank god. From a hip-hop perspective Illmatic is the greatest album of all time, and so much better than MBDTF it isn't funny.
Bloc Party really went downhill after Silent Alarm hey?

Thought Kid A would be a lot higher than 11th. Ah well, 11th isn't too bad.
Ok computer will poll pretty high though you'd reckon.

So far only 1 album from my list made it (not surprised by that though). However I do enjoy a lot of the stuff that's been put up in the last 10 or so. Also been given plenty of new stuff to listen to thanks to this list. Good work Marlowe/those who voted!

Going by this list, if it's not no 1 i'll go he.
They'll end up with 4 albums in the list, 3 polling extremely high. Shows what a bloody great band they are!

As far as an album band go, they are really up there for producing standout 5 star classics. How man bands can honestly claim to have produced a generation defining album in two different decades?? Ok computer is widely regarded (by critics) as the standout album of the 90s, kid a the same for the 00s.Also shows the age of the voters
Just having a quick look over the lists. Looks like Ok Computer and Ten will be right up near the top.
Got 5 albums in so far. 6 when Ten gets listed.

Oh don't get me wrong I like some Arcade Fire, just wouldn't put any of their albums in a top 50Your top 50 would be lacking then.
Never understood the love for Radiohead. There'd been so much hype about how great they were back whenever it was, so I got hold of a copy of OK Computer to see what it was all about. Started off promisingly enough, then that awful whiny "singing" started and I didn't get much further.

They're definitely one of those love-hate bands for most people I think. I like quite a lot of their stuff, though the circlejerk of Thom Yorke fanboys is off-putting and they're really overrated as a result.
The best thing about being involved in polls like this is unearthing some albums that I've neglected due to either forgetfulness, ignorance or laziness. I'm starting to listen to each album that's been voted in the top 50 and trying to force myself to listen the whole way through to see why it holds a special place for so many people. There are some that I know I'm going to struggle with that though!

No s**t.
Not really sure it warrants being in the top 20 either.. Sits on that rung below classic status.
Same story with the first Arctic Monkeys LP.
Arctic Monkeys probably isn't worth being quite that high, but it is a modern classic, and quite an incredible debut album. Definitely a top 10 album for the last decade quite comfortably along with albums such as "Is This It" and "Kid A" ect.
