NME Top 100 Greatest Albums Of The Decade

[1000SlappyHours]

well I guess it does kinda make sense that its #60, when it comes to certain contests and magazines the higher rankings are the artists who are around there...which means a lot of Radiohead, Muse, etc. etc.

I still wish it could have gotten a higher number

Well they don't even have Origin of Symmetry there for Muse, and yet they put Blackholes and Revelations (which i also love, but it's definitely their most mainstream record). For Radiohead, Kid A should've been higher than In Rainbows IMO.

it always annoyed me when it says 'warning bombed with the fans...'. no it didn't, it bombed with the critics.

didn't either. Christgau gave A- and Steven Erlewine from allmusic called it (back then) "best damn album they've ever made"

Bombed with the mainstream, which is fine by me.

Not a surprise. NME has always been squeamish with Green Day :down:

They like to promote boring album that no one's going to listen, I don't care what NME says about Green Day anymore.

EDIT: and also NME justifications are always contradictory.

I like NME to an extent, but I completely agree with you, especially in regards to the band.

Oh, wow. Okay. I feel stupid now.

:lol: I love you, this made me laugh too hard, sorry to be laughing at your mistake!

Ideally it would have been higher on the list, but honestly, this isn't that bad, all things considered!

number 60 somthing isnt right there!!

[matteo263]

60?????????????????????????????

Should be at least 11?

bdw I never heard of any of the top 3

(where is 21CB and Warning{Mainly 21 CB}

[Helly 77]

they are the best... and AI is the best album ever...GD don't need stupid magazines or TVs to tell them they are great!!!

it's enough that i'm a green day fan!! right!?

[Kate Austen]

This is a top 10 of the decade easily. I don't use that lightly either. While Green Day is my personal favorite band, in the grand scheme of things - I wouldn't put most their music in top of lists. But American Idiot is something special.

It actually deserve to be in top 10.

[matteo263]

PURE PRoof that NME are IDIOOOOTTTTSSSS

In 2006 they issued this:

http://www.timepieces.nl/Top100%27s/2006NME.html

American idiot was the 32nd best album of all time!!!!

Making them the 6th best Album of the 2000's until then.....so in NME are saying that since 2006 the world came up with 54 best of all time albums.

WALKING CONTRADICTION!

[Agija]

They deserved to be on the top 10 list. NME just doesn't like Green Day, AI is definitely better than those other 59 albums.

[Kate Austen]

Well...no one takes them seriously anyways. Have you seen their list of best live acts of all time!? It's kind of hilarious how many bands did not deserve to be on that top 10. Especially when you are considering all the groups ever created in the past 100 years.

Thank you, but that classification, if i get it right, was made by fans not by the NME editors

But I agree on the fact that NME is to a certain extent contradictory.

umm that list is not so great either

oasis before the beatles? i dont think so

the bottom line is that american idiot deserves more and i have another problem with that list of greatest albums of all time too American idiot before dookie? shame on NME.

god i sound like a music critic

[Guest Hayley]

I bet that this will last forever.

[Nikki_Nimrod]

Wow, AI deserves to be waaay higher!

I agree 21st Century Breakdown should be on there too, it's so brilliant.

Even the description of American Idiot, although it's positive as a whole, still comes across as very negative to me.

NME are crazy

[Alan86]

American Idiot shoud be in the top 3 at least. U2 had one of there most succsful decades since they formed with 3 Number 1 albums of which "all that you cant leave behind" and "how to dismantle an atomic bomb" were very sucessfull records. Not one of them even made the top 100. This chart is a bit stupid.

I am laughing so hard at your av right now, Billie's eyes

[Hermione]

NME is number 1 on my list of shitty music magazines.

Well those U2 albums IMO don't compare with their best stuff, like Achtung Baby. Tho i will admit i love "All that you can't leave behind". I don't think American Idiot deserves to be in the top 10, but It's Blitz didn't really deserve to be tht high. Kid A should've been higher than In Rainbows and Animal Collective should've been on tht list, even if they are overrated.
