Particularly pleased to see Ooberman reach so high! Though I have to disagree about Favourite Worst Nightmare... it's the album that almost convinced me th'Arctics were on their way out.

I hadn't listened to it in about a year, so I dug it out last week and had it in my car, and it is truly superb. You should engage more then!

It's almost certainly technically BETTER than half the stuff in here, but do I LIKE it more? Not so much. And James, you may be right, but any crossover in taste we may have is more rooted in the previous decade, clearly. I think if we did '90s lists, they'd be more similar (although still of course far from identical)...

I agree it shouldn't necessarily be above Kid A, but it's their best album since then, was there REALLY not space for it in the bottom 25? REALLY? REALLY??!?! That aside, this list emphasises one things to me: we really don't listen to much of the same music. Our tastes diverged some time around 2001, apparently. After that there are only about 5 albums I've even heard, let alone would put in a top 50. Still, I might have to do my own and test that theory. The lack of In Rainbows is odd.

I must, however, compliment you on your choice of Arctic Monkeys album - most people would go for 'Whatever People Say I Am...' but I think FWN is a much more complete listening experience.

No ‘In Rainbows’?
