Áhorfendur MTV völdu þessar 20 plötur sem þær bestu fyrr og síðar

 

Michael Jackson’s 1983 LP Thriller has been named the “Greatest Album Ever” in a new poll from MTV. The pop superstar’s Quincy Jones-produced album–which featured hits like “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” “Thriller,” and “The Girl Is Mine”— is the world’s best-selling album and dominated a poll of MTV viewers.

“I don’t think there’ll ever be another album like it in the history of music,” says MTV Base presenter Trevor Nelson. “There will never be a marriage of producer and artist, or songwriting and pop sensibility like that again. Due to the way people buy records now, there’ll never be an album that sells as many copies.”

More than 40,000 votes were cast by fans asked to choose their favorite album since 1981 from a shortlist of 26 LPs. The final list was then compiled by music industry experts from MTV’s three UK channels - MTV2, VH1 and MTV Base.

Check out the Top 20 and let us know what you think of the album rankings.

Ok... fyrst þetta er listi yfir plötur frá 1981 og síðar þá skil ég af hverju Bítlarnir eru ekki þarna. En ég hefði algjörlega og hikstalaust sett þarna inn plöturnar Jagged Little Pill með Alanis og Parklife með Blur, mögulega The Great Escape líka. The Bends hefði ég valið frekar en OK Computer og svo hefði ég sett inn Fleet Foxes... Muse...Achtung Baby með U2 ... þetta er stórgallaður listi að mínum dómi. Enda er ég píka og mér er sama!
