Top 20 British albums of all time:

Biffy Clyro - The Vertigo Of Bliss
People In Planes - As Far As The Eye Can See
Cardiacs - Sing To God
Radiohead - Kid A
Cardiacs - Heaven Born And Ever Bright
Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup
Radiohead - Amnesiac
Cardiacs - The Garage Concerts
Jarcrew - Breakdance Euphoria Kids
Oceansize - Everyone Into Position
Tetra Splendour - Splendid Animation
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Snakes! Snakes! - For Now Is The Time That We Should Run Screaming From Our Sheds To Attack Those With Slightly Better Sheds (and the tragedy is, I'm one of six people in the world to own a copy of this seven-track masterpiece)
Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People
Manic Street Preachers - Holy Bible
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Beatles - Revolver
Dizzee Rascal - Boy In Da Corner
Yourcodenameis:milo - Ignoto

This list is final and definite. Those wondering about the omissions of Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden et al should definitely investigate the top 5 albums on the list (or preferably all 20, especially the Snakes! Snakes! tape if you can wrestle a copy from my cold dead hands) for their own sakes.

Hello all. 'Becksbolero' made mention of some very good bands! Tulls 'Thick as a Brick' struck a chord with me tho. Anyone steer me to where I can get tabs for that song...? Anybody ? Personally, I think Pink Floyds 'Darkside of the Moon' is the finest album to ever come across the pond. IMHO Thanx.

lol Pink Floyd, my favorite is actually their first one back when they had Syd Barret, Piper at The Gates of Dawn ? or something of the sort, but this was in 1968 (? more or less )

And yeah the other 2.

The Wall

And the one before that one was Dark Side of the moon not Wish you were here ( that song was in that one though, I think)

I'm 14, I just stumbled into the floyd because some dude taught me one of their songs, and I fell in love ( with the music of course :D )

I wanna be that guy that you wish you were ! ( i wish I were that guy)

You gotta set your sights high to get high!

well my personnal favourite is D:Ream volume one - with "Things can only get better" on it :lol: (actually it was the first albumn i bought :roll: ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl-ai9HuR60

seriously, although it may not be considered a great albumn but my vote goes to "outlandous D'amour" by the police - i love the way it begins with "Next to you" - what a great song for driving to - shame i only have a nissan micra :oops:

i bought it when i was 19, so, nearly 8 years before i picked up the guitar, but i loved the songs - now i listen to it with a different take -i cant stop listening to andy summers work, especially on "So lonely".

what a great sound for a three piece band.
i know it wont win many other votes here - but it sure gets mine :D

"I like to play that guitar. I have to stare at it while I'm playing it because I'm not very good at playing it."
