    It’s hard to argue against anything in this batch because at this point it looks like you are just digging through the bargain bin at your local HMV. Shitting on the likes of Limp BIzkit, Hootie and the Blowfish and Mariah Carey is almost a pointless endeavor.

    I was hoping the list would conclude like his:

    995. The Velvet Underground – The Velvet Underground and Nico
    996. Rolling Stones – Exile on Mainstreet
    997. The Clash – The Clash
    998. Nirvana – Nevermind
    999. Sex Pistols – Never Mind the Bollocks
    1000. Any album you ever bought or enjoyed that sold more than 3 copies.

    I think you already mentioned #416 and #449, but I can be wrong. Or maybe you really hate these albums (me not).

    Waiting For A Miracle is in twice – twice more than it should be. Birds Of Tokyo is a good choice though.

    Hahahaha the Vengaboys. Cool fact: they are doing things still. They had a song this year, called, of all things, “Rocket to Uranus.”
    It a) features Perez Hilton, b) is available in 2D & 3D filmclips, c) has Perez saying Uranus “feels like home” and d) has that fucking title.

    Thanks Vincent and David: noted, and amended.

    416 is now The Spin Doctors – Pocket Full of Kryptonite
    449 is now Matchbox Twenty – More Than You Think You Are

    I can’t help thinking both deserved to be mentioned twice, though.

    Every band with Wolf in their name… except Guitar Wolf.

    428 – YUSS!

  11. Niall says:
    December 12, 2010 at 11:31 am

    But seriously though – have you really listened to numbers 440, 401 and 409 from start to finish??

  12. Everett True says:
    December 12, 2010 at 3:18 pm

    Twice.

    Only thing that surprises me is that it took you this long to include Wolfmother on the list. Seriously I assumed they’d be no.2 right underneath Kings of Leon

    Late to the party… I have to disagree with -

    427. The Stranglers – La Folie
    Far from their best, but Stranglers far from their best are a solid 7, 7.5/10 band.

    428. Nirvana – MTV Unplugged In New York
    Golden rule of music is that ALL brilliant noisy guitar music is well worth a listen played acoustic by the original artist.

    And Limp Bizkit of course, I mean ‘Chocolate Starfish’, that is sooooooooo funny!!!! Hee Hee! Get’s into top 10 albums of all time just for the hilarity of the title.

    Wild eye…as we talk about Nirvana I think it’s not about it’s acoustic. Huh, it’s not even acoustic – like most of Unplugged records it is played with amplifiers, just more quiet and electro-acoustic guitars, not electric or acoustic. But I’m startled. I know, MTV sucks, it is not unplugged etc etc. but I like this record. It’s still better than STP Unplugged IMO.

    Hey, there should be a place for any Silverchair’s album in that list.
