Voted. And of course, Thom Yorke and Radiohead got my preference wherever available.

I really don't like these types of polls.
Mainly because Art (and of course, music in this instance) is so very very subjective.

Not bagging your post by any means OD.
Just stepping onto my soapbox :)

Urban Hymns, The Verve - Cant remember just how many times I listened to that Album on repeat in my car until it finally got replaced in my one disc player.

Looks like I lost interest in music after 1999 cause I only picked one album and 6 'dont have a preference'

You may not have lost interest in music, just "new music".
That happens a little when you get old.

What scared me was the lack of quality in those "best albums" around about the 2000-2005 area. I left no preference for most of those.

Got near the end, realised the dude hadn't nominated Turn On the Bright Lights by Interpol, left without voting. The man's musical credentials are now in tatters. TATTERS!

How did 'Blood Sugar Sex Magic' get left out from '92. Even if you don't like the RHCP you can't argue it is not one of the most iconic sounds of the 90's. It's like Nevermind... Funk-Punk-Rock genius.

KD Lang? Dr Dre? Pavement? pfft Bernard Zuel is twatmonger.

no preference for most as the choices were so limited, especially for my taste, it was all pop or the like you would hear on the radio whereas imho the best albums dont get played on the radio, i think from that list definately gunners, the best debut albm of all time and possibly the best all time album.

You came, you saw and you voted. In remarkable numbers. Nearly 10,000 of you voted - not for any prize but for the pleasure of being involved and making your voice heard.

And while you agreed with Bernard Zuel in some preictable choices - Thriller and OK Computer, for example - we were surprised you also took Bjork to your hearts in such numbers.
