NME's Top 40 Albums of All Time from 1988
NME's Top 40 Albums of All Time from 1988
It’s an interesting list that highlights how many great albums released in the 80s but holy recency bias Batman. I have never seen a Pogues album considered best of anything… frankly I have never seen anyone discuss their existence outside of Le Funny Christmas Song That Says Faggot
Meat is Murder being the lowest ranked Smiths album says a lot. Also lmao at 5 smiths albums. I love them but a bit too excessive.
Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie
doesnt spell out the album's complete name = no credibility
They are the best Celtic punk band
Give them a chance. Their first three records and Poguetry in Motion are all fantastic.
I’m alright thanks. Glad you like it but as a Glaswegian Rangers fan I’d rather be caught dead than listen to tarrier music
What's Going On Marvin - Gaye
Lioyd Cole And The Ccmmotions
London Calling - The Ciash
Television
Elvis Costello
Jesus and Mary chain
These people were forgotten long ago.
i listen to all of them frequently
Love, Prefab Sprout, Lloyd Cole and The The even longer ago
Melody Maker’s was probably better
what kind of faggot doesn't like the Pogues?
Run, Sodomy and the Lash was a big deal at the time. It made traditional Irish music “cool” and took it away from the domain of your grandma.
They mog everything on the list that's not REM and that one Prefab Sprout album.
Honestly, it’s just nice to see a list devoid of diversity inclusions. Fuckin hate people that are different from me hahaha Bobby Womack is cool tho
the best album of all time was 2 years ago
the second best album of all time was 4 years ago
Must have been exciting living in a time where one could believe this.
It is. And same. Bobby Womack is awesome for sure. Modern lists are such bullshit.
To be fair, I don't think anyone expected The Smiths to hit that many homeruns back to back like that.
Imperial Bedroom and King of America are highest ranked Costello albums
Hello, based department?
The Clash self titled above London Calling
based
U2
...
>Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie
doesnt spell out the album's complete name = no credibility
Pedantic autistic child moment
*pendatic
Celtic Punk
Singing in English
The lack of self-awareness is outstanding
All these albums suck besides Joshua Tree
How many lovers did you lose to the AIDS epidemic?
I like Joshua Tree but you are so fucking retarded
Why does only pop music exist for retards?
I have never listened to The Smiths
I've been listening to nothing but The Smiths recently
What are you waiting for then?
I think it's funny that Astral Weeks is always up pretty high. It's never ever number one but it's always in the 6-20 range.
Those albums still regularly rank among the greatest of all time now, to be fair
Lloyd Cole
holy based
What's Going On Marvin is cracking me up
ackchuylly
no one cares
Point is if you think the 4 greatest albums ever came out in the last 10 years, you could rationally expect the new greatest album of all time, or at least equally impressive albums, to be released any day.
It’s #21
Don't we all hope for that?
They were really into The Smiths, huh?
Doesn't realize that the people you're rebelling against own you to the point that you are speaking their language and they've successfully snuffed out your native tongue
Sad!
Can you blame them?
Obvious anti-American bias. Marquee Moon belongs in the top 5.
Crazy recency bias. Most of those 80s albums are completely forgotten now
You owe it to yourself, its the perfect music for that incel person who is still only just 18-25 and still has a lot of hopes of finding romance someday. 35 year old virgin here and I remember listening to lots of Smiths and The Cure 12 years ago being like...wow...wonder if I will ever feel the feelings in these beautiful songs.
If you are already like 35 or older or something fuck it.
Which ones do you think are forgotten?
that weird spacing on labels and dates
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions written as Lioyd Cole and the Ccmmotions
The Clash written as The Ciash
Did some zoomer really feed an NME page into an AI instead of just posting the page? lmao
It's from Rocklist, which is older than modern AI
