Greatest albums of all time

[Prospero]

Or two even better Bowie albums "Hunky Dory" and "Heroes"

What would you have chosen as your top three maybe - and what is sorely missing from the list. Oh and why?

The Top 100 Favourite Albums in full:

so, with the exception of abba and bob marley, the greatest albums of all time come from either the united kingdom or america?

obviously the criterion here is that the music must be in english which discounts a rather good portion of the planet.

Although I sympathise to some extent with your point, are there any Hungarian or Peruvian rock albums you think should be on the list?

i can think of one particular hungarian record on my own list but none for peru (mainly because their rock music would still be considered cumbia)

shout-outs to machu-picchu though

Well the wider point might be that the list contains nothing but pop and rock... while being touted as a "greatest albums' list - so there is plenty of great jazz and obviously huge amounts of classical music from all over the world.

But not worth getting upset about. it is a pop station. Just some fun.

Hey Prospero, how about Greatest Concept Albums of all-time and limit the list to 20? Been listening to and enjoying Iced Earth's Framing Armageddon myself.

Interesting list Bella - displaying a pretty catholic taste.

didn't get upset. just wanted to point out that more than 90% of what was posted came from only 2 countries (and even the 2 that didn't were from acts that were mainly popular in those 2 countries)

oddly enough, those 2 countries are the same ones i'm a citizen of. perhaps i should be very proud

Although not technically albums, I would have to add the Isley Brthers to any list.
They have been hitting the charts longer than just about anyone else.

That logic also makes me add Bowie and the Stones.

Music in five or six different decades.
