For me it has to be (What's The Story) Morning Glory (Oasis), no question.

Other great albums (to me):
Substance 87 - New Order
Songs To Learn and Sing - Echo and the Bunnymen
The Unforgettable Fire - U2
A Grand Don't Come For Free - The Streets
A Rush of Blood To The Head - Coldplay

gosh, just too many to choose from...

By the way, thanks for the Radio Times link, CC (which I have to confess is also my homepage ). Sunday night - quality viewing with William and Mary and a documentary on Heysel at the same time as 100 Greatest Albums.

I have feelings none of my favourites shall be on there.....!

you never know the habits of people that vote on these things. so in that case there may be an appearance by NOW 27, or The Greatest EVER Dance Anthemz In The Universe, or SClub7 - the Complete Ultimate Singles Collection (1997-98)

PMSL

the first now album I got was Now 35 on cassette and I was only about 7 years old

Stone Roses Self-titled would get my vote. Or failing that 'Wish You Were Here'.

Well the full results are in (Channel 4 Greatest Albums)

I was a bit surprised by some of the result. Can't argue with the winner: OK Computer (Radiohead) is a great album from a great band (they've come a long way since I used to see them downing pints off the Cowley Road when I was a student in Oxford) but so many great albums so far down the list: Is This It (The Strokes) - 89th, Bat Out of Hell ((Meat Loaf) - 86th (although I'm not a fan doesn't this album hold the record for most consecutive number of weeks in the Top 50?), London Calling (The Clash) - 44th, and Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols (Sex Pistols) - 31st, (What's the Story) Morning Glory (Oasis), and Parachutes (Coldplay) failing to make the Top 10. A Rush of Blood To The Head (Coldplay) and The Wall (Pink Floyd) failed to make the Top 100.

I have mixed feelings about The Joshua Tree. It came out at a time when I was the only person in my year who listened to U2 and suddenly everyone liked them . They've gone downhill since that imho. But what surprised me was how artists such as Bjork and Madonna were so high. Of course, it's all subjective

Great programme!! It became quite embarrassing at one point as it seems it was lifted fom my record collection.

When ok computer came out I listened to it most days for months but now some 8 years later the bends is the one I like the most from them, especially the closing tune "street spirit" my fave tune of all time.

I watched this and although the Radiohead album is a good one I was surprised it being No. 1. I must admit I have quite a lot of those albums in my collection too Westy.

Think I had an embarrassing 48 out of the top 50.I too prefer The Bends because of its raw energy but cant argue that OK Computer shouldn't have won.

Oh, I can probably beat that - I love America Pie by Don McLean...and I'm also partial to the Eagles! - and John Denver!!! - but the fact that I can remember the words to every song from 'The Partridge Family Notebook' (ask your parents, Jezi) is probably the icing on the cake!

And I can remember the very FIRST 'Now that's what I call music' album - Total Eclipse of the Heart was on it, if I'm not mistaken. That song has many many memories for me...back in 1983, and then, funnily enough, in 1991, it was playing in the labour ward, as my second daughter came into the world.

so can I !!

I have the first twelve or so - if only I'd kept collecting

I have a friend who has the collection from the early vinyl to tape and now CD.
