Amazon.co.uk: The best albums of all time

The best albums of all time - bar none.
A Listmania! list by Andreas Stavros

1. Kings of the Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants

The list author says:
	"The first album to make me think of music as more than just "entertainment" or background noise. As vibrant and irresistable now as it was in 1980. Unique, flourescent and exhilerating."

Used & New from: �2.00

2. Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

The list author says:
	"Every sensible child knows that THIS is The Smiths true masterpiece - not "The Queen is Dead". The Smiths were the only well in the desert of the Thatcherite '80s. Magnificent!"

3. Propaganda by Sparks

The list author says:
	"Sparks remain the most underrated musical act in the entire history of Pop. In 1974-75 they released three flawless albums. This is the best - like nothing you'll ever hear. Ignore it and be damned."

Used & New from: �3.84

4. Different Class by Pulp

The list author says:
	"In 1995, the answer to the question, "Blur or Oasis?" was "Pulp". This is the best album of that decade - a superlative essay on working class foibles and (lack of?) tastes. No "mockney" accents here."

5. Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren

The list author says:
	"Long before Paul Simon's overated Graceland, there was this hidden gem - a thrilling fusion of cultures, mottled together by the Sex Pistols bette noire. Celebratory stuff!"

6. Origin Of Symmetry (East West Version) by Muse

The list author says:
	"It's quite simple: This is a masterpiece. A less complicated Radiohead meets Rachmaninov...with a bit of French "torch song" panache thrown in. Epic!"

7. Never Mind the Bollocks by Sex Pistols

The list author says:
	"A Panzer Division of Gibson guitars devour catchy tunes that Abba would've killed for. Terrific lyrics accompany the aforementioned lovely assault. Mighty!"

8. Combat Rock by The Clash

The list author says:
	"Supposedly The Clash at their most "commercial"...which by others' standards means "not commercial at all". Fantastic Pop tunes and eerie raggas. Superb and often overlooked."

9. Torment and Torreros by Marc and the Mambas

The list author says:
	"Forget Soft Cell, Marc Almond's finest moments have been as a solo artist. This extraordinary record - a titanic wrestle of dark angst and almost psychotic frustration - is perfection."

10. Your Arsenal by Morrissey

The list author says:
	"Bar a couple of dud singles, this could've been The Smiths fifth album. Moz's solo records are usually erratic or average, but not this one. A beefy production from Bowie's Mick Ronson too."

11. A Night at the Opera-30th by Queen

The list author says:
	"An obvious choice but that doesn't mean it's a bad one. Only snobs deny Queen's majesty. Bad frocks don't mean bad music."

12. Gypsy Punks : Underdog World Strike by Gogol Bordello

The list author says:
	"Currently the best band on the planet - certainly live. Roma music meets punk meets snippets of reggae and hip-hop. Staggeringly good!"
