[Mark TKO]

What ?

Where's Boomania by Betty Boo ?
Where's MC Hammer's Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em ?

This is a disgrace !!

I get fed up of these programmes, there's one every few months which just has the same list in a different order.

Never seen Pet Sounds so low though

[BIG H]

Hotel California and Bat Out Of Hell are far too low too. Bat Out of Hell was in the charts for 16 years

[X]

I thought Al-Bum was that journeyman Arab fighter who everyone wants to get in the ring to pad their records?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

That list has Dido on it, it don't mean shit :P

[BIG H]

That list has Dido on it, it don't mean S*** :P

Defintely worth some anal correction tho

[Howlin Mad Missy]

just be sure to put something in her mouth to stop her from singing.

[Gandalf]

Its not a very relevant list to me....ABBA above the first Bob Dylan album enlisted? Only 1 Bowie entry? Coldplays Parachutes shouldnt even be in the top 100 really!

Some great albums in there, but a very flawed list...

[undefeated]

beastie boys--licensed to ill
offspring--ignition

[mucho testosterone]

Where the hell is Metallica??

Did I miss them?

They are arguably the most talented Metal band of all time!

Master of Puppets or my personal favorite, Ride the Lightning should be at the top of that list.

Nirvana in my mind is one of the most overrated bands of all time. Yes they did help usher in a new phase in Rock (grunge) but technically they were not all that.

[mucho testosterone]

Alice N chains--facelift

Soundgardens--Badmotorfinger

Judas Priest--Sad Wings of Destiny


2 Live Crew--As Nasty as they Want to be

Run DMC--self-titled 1984

Run DMC-- raising hell

AC/DC--high Voltage

highway to hell


Scorpions--Animal Magnetism

Nine Inch Nails--Pretty hate machine

Depeche Mode--Violator

The Platters-- Greatest hits

[CutMeMick]

The Streets ?
Dido ?






















DEXIES MIDNIGHT RUNNERS
What a piece of shit!! list really.

[CutMeMick]

Those 3 above ^
belong in the one hit wonders list.

[BIG H]

None of them belong in the top 10,000 list
