8 and I'm quite impressed with myself about that as I'm not much of a music follower!

Three but one was on cassette and got dumped when we moved over. I hate so called 'experts' giving top anything. All bollox, it can only ever be personal opinion, not actual fact.

Mmmm, let's see now............I think that would be zero............maybe because I have been living here for OVER 25 years, I don't think half of this lot would be given much airwave time on Aussie radio, where's ya AC/DC, Midnight Oil, Little River Band and all the other "Aussie legends?"

17.

All the stuff by Radiohead and Muse; Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, Oasis, Blur's Parklife; U2's Joshua Tree; Hot Fuss by The Killers and one or two others.

I'd certainly agree that the list is highly subjective, and it's a very British list: some of my faves of recent years aren't there.

Dreamy

I've got 16 too, but only if I add in the Radiohead CDs I 'inherited' when TheVileEx left and include Himself's dodgy taste in music.

Carbery

Only one
Nevermind (Nirvana)

DeadVim

Not really break-up music is it?

Geordie George

16.

I can honestly say I don't think I've ever heard anything by Muse? <waits to be proved wrong>

Burbage

If the question had been: "How many of these albums have you ever heard of?" I would have been able to answer: "One". And no, I didn't buy it.

I only had 3 and didn't recognise many of the bands on the list.

There seemed to be a distinct lack of albums from 20 to 30 years ago where many of my popular artist albums are from (Michael Jackson, Madonna, the Police, Duran Duran etc.)

Beedubya

Yes I thought that too! If it had been albums of the last 10 years then I wouldn't have even bothered reading the thread but because it said 25 years I thought "Oh yeah, I might have some like Michael Jackson or some other 80's artists" but honestly apart from the obvious like U2 and Oasis I don't even know the NAMES of some of this lot.

17 well i have them all on my hard drive, but 17 is how many i have bought on cd and Nevermind isnt one of them (pure pish if you ask me)

and dont even get me started on guns and pure pish roses (music for people who pretend to like heavy rock)

i was starting to think the bends wasnt in the list one of my fave albums. IMO they started to get pish after that (just a few good tracks on each album)
i was painting the other night and stuck the bends on to listen, i forgot how much i liked it.

i agree with a lot of great albums not being on the list
i think great albums have plenty of good songs on them, not just a few hits.

even jerky jackson had better albums that some on the list even though i cant stand his music, he made better albums than some of the shite on there.

Still lots of albums I can think of that are much better than those listed, but that is always the case when these lists are compiled.

Don't agree with the top 5 though or top 10 for that matter, great to see MBV there. But largely I think many great albums were ignored.

14!

They're huge in Aus so you probably have heard them without realising it!
