NME's Greatest British Albums of All-Time

NME released a poll of their writers to determine their list of the 100 Greatest British Albums of All-Time. Proving that they can be trendy bastards, the Arctic Monkeys' debut which has just been released in the States, landed at #5. In all fairness, it's on the verge of becoming the fastest selling debut in UK history, but better than anything the Stones, the Who, Radiohead, Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Kinks or Elvis Costello ever recorded??
The Top Ten is as follows:
1. The Stone Roses 'The Stone Roses'
2. The Smiths 'The Queen Is Dead'
3. Oasis 'Definitely Maybe'
4. Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks'
5. Arctic Monkeys 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'
6. Blur 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'
7. Pulp 'Different Class'
8. The Clash 'London Calling'
9. The Beatles 'Revolver'
10. The Libertines 'Up The Bracket'
