Some good albums, but i would have to say 'Arctic Monkeys' - 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What Im Not'. It's pure brilliance from start to finish. Or Pink Floyd 'Dark side of the Moon' |

Joy Division -- Closer. Ian's last album, absolutely without a doubt the finest work of art ever achieved by a Britsh Band. Sure there were some great albums and some pop masterpieces by the Beatles or the Stones or even the CURE.
But those don't elevate to the plane of something like a Wilfrid Owen work, a Donne poem, a painting by Francis Bacon, or the genius of Joesph Conrad. Joy Division does, and this was their finest album. |

Violator by Depeche Mode - not only the best British album but the best album ever made (for some reason these lists always seem to be dominated by guitar based bands, can't see why...) |

toss up between Kid A or OK Computer by Radiohead |
|
|
wasn't even born in the 60's but so many great British artistes emerged during that decade. How about Beatles - White Album, Zombies - Odyssey & Oracle or Kinks - Village Green Preservation Soc. All killer, no filler! (Don't listen to George Martin - the White Album is a GREAT double album). If only albums these days had the same quality control. |

The Stone Roses is simply the best, never mind British, ever album. By the way U2 are not a British band they are Irish and if you look at a map of the world you will notice that Ireland is NOT in Britan. |

The stone roses first album is a work of majestic beauty. everything about that is class.never mind the bollocks is also great the sheer anger and let's face it everyone needs a bit of positive anger |

What is the point? There is a lot of great music, why would you want to rank them? Instead give away free music from new bands without increasing the price of the magazine and see your circulation soar instead. |

Hounds of Love by Kate Bush - it is still a stunning, timeless piece of art.

Stuck for ideas for the March issue of Q? Why not do a feature devoted to best British singles as you only did that about a year ago. Or best British live act maybe. I'll still keep reading Q however, as I'm stuck in Hong Kong which is an artistic desert. |
