Agreed. But it is always voted in for being the most well-known by non-fans.

I know - I would just like to open everyone's ears to the joys of the other albums and I'm sure they would change their mind! ;D

Agreed again. If only they knew there was already a band called Dire Straits before BiA...

It seems that a lot of artists are represented by one album all the time. DS have BIA, Pink Floyd have Dark Side, David Gray White Ladder ;) etc.

Post by: vgonis on April 05, 2013, 10:47:16 AM: This was an one album per artist poll. I wonder what would the results be if many albums were allowed. Beatles would certainly be there with 3-4 albums, Pink Floyd as well.
Yes suprisingly, Duran Duran came third! Coldplay and Keane are new-ish bands, so they have a boost from their active fan base. No Radiohead!!!! I would certainly put The Bends ot OK computer in there.
Hey how about each of us composing his own 100 records! One slot per artist, but represented by various albums (in order to avoid the 20 first places being reeserved for DS and MK) . Anyone? Shall I start a new thread?
