Then again, if Laura Snapes had her wish, the top four would all be The National albums, while Kevin EG Perry would prefer a Rolling Stones takeover.Īll ribbing aside, you can read the entire list below:Ġ5. Also odd, NME posted their current staff’s top 10 lists that were submitted for the big 500, and none of them had The Smiths as number one five didn’t even have them on the list at all. The biggest drop sees The Libertines’ Up The Bracket go from No. 2 behind The Stone Roses’ self-titled record, which drops to No. Now, here’s something extra strange: NME released a Top 100 British Albums Ever back in 2006, and the numbers don’t quite match. 15, Arcade Fire’s Funeral (13) slotting higher than My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless (18), and Outkast’s Stankonia only good enough to slip in at 500. Some other interesting highlights include Oasis’ Definitely Maybe starting the top 10, PJ Harvey’s Let England Shake making an impressive No. Meanwhile, the band Queen is nowhere on the list at all, whereas Queens of the Stone Age shows up thrice (they also show up Thrice, who don’t appear). It’s better than anything the Beatles ever did (though Revolver came close). The Smiths’ The Queen Is Dead is the greatest album of all time. Apparently voting was done rather last minute, and the magazine got in touch with writers and staff from years past to compile their personal lists before tallying up all the votes. There are also no women or black artists in the top 10. Now, keep in mind, this is a British music magazine, so the fact that six of the top 10 acts are British shouldn’t be terribly surprising. NME has released its list of the Top 500 Albums of All Time, and it’s a doozy.
