Re: Top 30 Albums of the last 25 Years
A good selection if you like that sort of music, but the paucity of female and R&B performers makes the list rather meaningless in my view.

And how the hell did Neutral Milk Hotel get in there - like 5 people have heard that album, critically acclaimed or not....

Love some, loathe others.
Also suffered shocking realisation that the last 25 years is bloody recent in music terms.

Q magazine likes guitar bands and doesn't have the broadest taste. I think I own about 12 of those albums.

Re: Top 30 Albums of the last 25 Years
Am obviously far too old ... don't even know who/what most of those on the list are. And if any of their 'music' is typical of what's heard on most radio channels (either here in Dubai or on-line) then that's fine by me. Will stick with Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Cream, ZZ Top, Stones, even Beatles, Joan Baez, Leonard Cohen, Steeleye Span etc.
There ... now you have an idea of how ancient I am
Or maybe not ... perhaps it's a case of appreciating 'real' original music.

Re: Top 30 Albums of the last 25 Years
i've got well over half of those albums, but it's still a pretty odd list, i wouldn't rank some of them in the top 50 let alone top 30...

You may actually be surprised that you would like some of them.
Try youtube to find some videos... I'd guess it's possible you would like Kings Of Leon, Muse, White Stripes or Arcade Fire.
Not on the list - but I also recommend PJ Harvey's new album "Let England Shake".

Re: Top 30 Albums of the last 25 Years
I see Radiohead feature a few times, including the top spot, a band which I've never really understood the attraction for? From what I can gather it's always been 'cool' to like Radiohead, but with the exception of 'Creep' they're pretty poor as far as I'm concerned.

However OK Computer I have to agree with Q - it's a phenomenal album (in my own opinion)
