Some decent albums in the rest but nothing worthy of progressing bar above

The list is surprising really, some "all time albums" on there that didn't make the cut.

Never noticed that we ended up with two Beatles albums in there and one of them wasn't Sgt Peppers. It's a better album than Revolver I think.

Mostly the earlier ones I respect, but I wouldn't really listen to. Joy Division already have one in there, rightly so.

The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
Screen Violence - Chvrches
London Calling - The Clash
Discovery - Daft Punk
Led Zep IV - can't say I'm a big fan of these but most of the other options are shit.
 
Pathetic.

I didn't even have to ask! I always knew I liked you.
 
Only 3 I can really vouch for:
  • The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
  • American Idiot - Green Day
  • What's the story (Morning Glory) - Oasis
Haven't really listened to the others barring knowing a couple of the tracks, Bono can feck off regardless though.
