I was really enjoying the top ten albums poll, for the few hours that it existed on the weekend! I’d like to read more of everyone’s choices. Please feel free to blab on and on and explain your choices.
The moderator originally asked that the list be in a particular format so that the info could be easily entered in to a spreadsheet. If everyone could try and use the preferred format at least the mod has the option of resurrecting his poll, however, I don’t care, as this thread is just for kicks.

1 - Queen - A Night at the Opera
2 - Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
3 - The Beatles - Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
4 - The Beatles - The Beatles AKA The White album
5 - Guns N Roses - Use Your Illusion 1
6 - Nirvana - In Utero
7 - Radiohead - Ok Computer
8 - Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
9 - Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence
10 - Tori Amos - Under the Pink
I based my list on albums I listen to a lot, not albums I respect but don’t especially play that often, so I excluded Led Zeppelin 4 and Dark Side of the Moon. If it had been a top twenty I would’ve included three Bowie albums: Hunky Dory, Station to Station and Low. Honourable mention: Violator by Depeche Mode - the best album made by a mediocre band!

Oh, I agree compilation/hits albums should be excluded. I also think only studio albums should be included, not live albums, but that was not an original rule of the poll.

Can I just take this opportunity to congratulate myself on running a 100% correctly formatted top 10 albums poll? Others have tried, but it takes rare leadership to achieve this level of compliance.

With only 31 years of this poll left to run, has A Day At The Races taken an unassailable lead?
