Channel 4’s 100 Greatest Albums. As voted by the great British public 🙄
Typical amount of crap that will be forgotten in a few years, dullards, hype over content and media favourite overrated bands of all time.
About the only thing they got right was the Stones’ “Let It Bleed” being higher then “Exile On Main Street”.

Hmmmm…. Channel 4 viewers! My only observation. Except that Queen album rocks and so do a few others.
You’ll have enjoyed “Nevermind” being so high up 😉
It does indeed rock, though not my fav of theirs that goes to Sheer Heart Attack.
