Album of 1984 (Round 3) - RESULT

[1964white]

Never Mind the Bollocks and Surfer Rosa are the only two game changer albums I've heard in my lifetime. Surfer Rosa being the superior effort. I'm a little young for the mid sixties into psychedelia game changers

I would put Radiohead's 'Kid A' in that category, unfortunately didn't win the 2000 poll

Still considered, by Radiohead connoisseur fans, their best album.

Clash Londons calling

Led Zeppelin II (BB)
Pixies 'Surfer Rosa' (Ges)
Pink Floyd 'Dark Side Of The Moon' (Andrew)

Thank you, Billie

Thank you, Billie

But that shows how the voters are swayed towards particular genres and the whole list is skewed in favour of that . Great album by the way.

I'll miss this thanks 64.

[Finnatic]

01 Beatles - Revolver
02 Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
03 Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
04 Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
05 Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus
06 Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks
07 Clash - London Calling
08 U2 - The Joshua Tree
09 Led Zeppelin - II
10 Joy Division - Closer

Easily could have been five or six others and a few of these could be in any order at any given time.

The only soul album to win one of the 57 years polls. I was surprised it won the 1971 poll, being a very competitive rock orientated year

I'll miss this thanks 64.

That's a shame, MJ
