Greatest records of last 25 years



So its like,  the list of greatest albums of last 25 years (1986-2011) is out ,however its being chosen by the readers of Q magazine but pretty much reflects the overall preference of the people over the world . Radiohead's Ok computer tops the list but surprisingly Kid A is being rated at no. 18 which has been previously given the top spot in the greatest albums of decade 2000-2010 by the rollingstone magazine. Although Radiohead overall have its 6 albums in the top 250 out of which 4 are in top 25 , Oasis and and Muse have 5 and Coldplay,Blur have 4 each while U2 with 7 albums in top 250 was the maximum. One of my personal favourite nevermind was second behind the ok computer.The whole list seems reasonable with ok computer having brilliant songs like Karma police and Paranoid android it deserved the top spot hands down I love the whole album though and as far as nevermind is concerned with track like smells like a teen's spirit which is like the mother of alt rock genre as I already discussed in my earlier post.Oasis bagging away 3rd and 4th places may be debatable not taking away the fact they are genuinely great albums but when you see an album like Kid A at 18 then it seems weird right ? The best thing about the list is arctic monkeys at the 5th (and one of the youngest band in the whole list as well) however their music is pretty much centered around Indie rock.Ok so I wont take much of your time here are the top 10 , I'm also writing few songs of the album that pretty much sums it up ofcourse you cant do that in case of Ok computer as the whole album is awesome for the others just save the link to download the song..!

1.Ok Computer (Radiohead) -whole abum
2.Nevermind (Nirvana)- Smells like a teen's spirit  Polly Lithium   Lounge act  Come as you are
3.(What's the story) Morning Glory ? (Oasis)- Some might say  Wonderwall  Don't look back in anger, Champagne supernova
