Terribly predictable. Not quite sure why the 2nd Arcade Fire album is in their, because it was dogsh*t.

I only own one of those albums, and there's no others on there I've ever wanted to own.

Why no The Music as well? Terrible oversight.

Relationship of Command.

I agree with Dan, that list is lame.

Am I being blind, or have they missed out the first Kings of Leon album? Also, I know these things are subjective, but how the hell you can have a fifty albums of the decade list without The Greatest by Cat Power is an absolute f*cking mystery.

Also, I reckon the first Iron and Wine album should be there. And how the hell have they got the worst Shins album in the top twenty?!

Quote: Howard Hughes, Nov 2009

Didn't pretty much everywhere have Chutes Too Narrow as one of their best albums of 2003 when it came out?

Edit - Absolution in there ahead of Origin of Symmetry? Die in a fire.

Sure did.

Don't wanna bang on too much about stuff that's not there cos you wouldn't expect a truly diverse and interesting list from a sh*trag like NME, but for the love of God you'd think they'd find room for Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots........

Nice to see the Delgados, Wilco and Grandaddy in there, but the Rapture? What the f*ck were they thinking?!

It is a really NMEy list, but it is really wrong, still, I think.

I think "The Lost Riots" by HOTS, "Hazards of Love" by The Decemberists, "Origin of Symmetry" by Muse are albums of the decade too.
Also, Sigor Ros too.

It is really weird it is not any metal and rappy albums at-all. - System Of A Down and Rammstein are both really important, I think, and also lots of other rappers are lots more important than Jay-Z. I am not sure- I do not know so much about metal and rap at-all.
Also, it is weird "In Rainbows" is higher than "Kid A". - Kid A is lots more important and influential, I think, and also In Rainbows would not exist if Kid A did not exist first (please does it make sense at-all?).

It is really cool Super Furry Animals and Grandaddy are in the list too.
