The results are interesting, certainly more eclectic -- you could argue it's more valid than the Q and other polls (incidently NME has another one on the horizon as part of its 50 year anniversary) : 1 Nick Drake – Bryter Later - 1970 2 Tom Waits – Rain Dogs - 1985 3 The Band – The Band - 1969 4 Gene Clarke – No Other – 1974 5 Nick Drake – Five Leaves Left – 1969 6 The Beatles – A Hard Days Night – 1964 7 Curtis Mayfield – Curtis – 1970 8 Todd Rundgren – A Wizard And A Star – 1973 9 George Harrison – All Things Must Pass – 1970 10 Todd Rundgren – Something/Anything – 1972 11 Pink Floyd – Piper At The Gates Of Dawn – 1967 12 Bid Star – Radio City – 1974 13 The Flying Burrito Brothers – The Guilded Palace Of Sin – 1969 14 Earth Wind & Fire – I Am – 1979 15 Jeff Buckley – Grace - 1994 16 My Bloody Valentine – Isn’t Anything – 1988 17 Scott Walker – Scott 4 – 1969 18 Buffalo Springfield – Again – 1967 19 Laura Nyro – New York Tendaberry – 1969 20 Sly And The Family Stone – Fresh – 1973 21 The Beach Boys – Holland 22 Dexy’s Midnight Runners – Searching For The Young Soul Rebels – 1980 23 Joni Mitchell – Court And Spark – 1974 24 The Boo Radleys – Giant Steps – 1993 25 Steely Dan – Countdown To Ecstasy – 1973 26 Dusty Springfield – Dusty In Memphis – 1969 27 John Cale – Music For A New Society – 1982 28 Roxy Music – For Your Pleasure – 1973 29 Funkadelic – Maggot Brain - 1971 30 Blue Nile – Hats – 1989 31 Public Enemy – Fear Of A Black Planet – 1990 32 Leonard Cohen – I’m Your Man - 1988 33 Talking Heads – Fear Of Music – 1979 34 Chic – Risqui – 1979 35 Rod Stewart – Every Picture Tells A Story – 1971 36 Joni Mitchell – The Hissing Of Summer Lawns – 1975 37 John Coltrane – A Love Supreme – 1965 38 Iggy & The Stooges – Raw Power – 1973 39 Lou Reed – Berlin – 1973 40 Tim Hardin – Tim Hardin 2 – 1967 41 The Stooges – Fun House – 1970 42 Suicide – Suicide – 1980 43 David Bowie – Young Americans – 1975 44 Neil Young – Tonight’s The Night – 1975 45 Run Dmc – Raising Hell – 1986 46 Aretha Franklin – Young Gifted And Black – 1972 47 Robert Wyatt – Rock Bottom – 1974 48 Captain Beefheart – Clear Spot – 1972 49 The Band – Music From Big Pink – 1968 50 Tom Waits – The Heart Of Saturday Night – 1974 51 Dexy’s Midnight Runners – Don’t Stand Me Down – 1985 52 The Jayhawks – Hollywood Town Hall – 1992 53 Public Image Ltd – Metal Box – 1979 54 Husker Du – Warehouse: Songs & Stories – 1987 55 Grateful Dead – Live Dead – 1970 56 Moby Grape – Moby Grape – 1967 57 Pavement – Slanted And Enchanted – 1992 58 Miles Davis – Sketches Of Spain – 1960 59 The Beach Boys – Today – 1965 60 Laura Nyro – Eli And The Thirteenth Confession – 1968 61 The Slits – Cut – 1979 62 Dexy’s Midnight Runners – Too-Rye-Aye – 1982 63 Al Green – The Belle Album – 1977 64 Roxy Music – Stranded – 1973 65 The Velvet Underground – The Velvet Underground – 1969 66 Little Feat – Dixie Chicken – 1973 67 Pere Ubu – The Modern Dance – 1977 68 Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works 85- 92 – 1992 69 Kraftwerk – Radioactivity – 1975 70 The Velvet Underground – Loaded – 1970 71 Neil Young – On The Beach – 1974 72 The Everly Brothers – Roots – 1968 73 Blondie – Eat To The Beat - 1979 74 PJ Harvey – To Bring You My Love –1995 75 Todd Rundgren – Todd – 1974 76 Jane Siberry – When I Was A Boy – 1993 77 Big Star – Sister Lovers – 1979 78 The Zombies – Odessey (Sic) And The Oracle – 1968 79 Ar Kane – Sixty Nine – 1988 80 Isaac Hayes – Hot Buttered Soul – 1969 81 Nick Drake – Pink Moon – 1972 82 The Mothers Of Invention – We’re Only In It For The Money – 1968 83 The Beach Boys – Sunflower – 1970 84 Neil Young – Arc/Weld – 1991 85 Husker Du – Zen Arcade – 1984 86 The Rolling Stones – Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out – 1970 87 Crowded House – Temple Of Love – 1988 88 Tim Buckley – Starsailor – 1970 89 The Doors – Strange Days – 1967 90 Van Morrison – Tupelo Honey – 1971 91 Miles Davis – Bitches Brew – 1969 92 The Lilac Time – Paradise Circus – 1989 93 Al Green – Al Green Is Love – 1975 94 REM – Lifes Rich Pageant – 1986 95 Beach Boys – Summer Days (And Summer Nights) – 1965 96 Pavement – Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain – 1994 97 The Millennium – Begin – 1968 98 Prefab Sprout – Steve McQeen – 1985 99 TLC – Crazy Sexy Cool – 1995 100 Tribe Called Quest – Midnight Marauders – 1993 101 Iggy Pop – The Idiot – 1977 102 Dr John – Gris Gris – 1968 Note : 'Scott 4' but no 'Scott 3' ???? - -- Barry _______________________________________________________________________ Freeserve AnyTime, only #13.99 per month with one month's FREE trial!
