this is one of the best moments of Rowland's career (and the rest of the album ain't bad either)

far be it from me to guess why the Jeremy Clarkson of music magazines might dislike that album and most of the rest of these

Whatever, I fucking love Midnight Vultures.

28. The Rolling Stones – Dirty Work

not even the worst stones album, let alone of all time

Albums on this list that I like:

1. Duran Duran – Thank You

Certainly not among DD's best and it has some goofy moments (the spoken word bit in I Wanna Take You Higher is pretty ridiculous) but it's a decent cover album - there's enough good stuff on it.

10. Tim Machine – Tin Machine Ii

Not sure about that album by mr Machine, first name Tim, but as far as Tin Machine II goes, that one I think is really quite good. It's got Shopping For Girls, Amlapura & much more, I personally prefer it over the first Tin Machine album.

36. Kula Shaker – Peanuts, Pigs & Astronauts

The band gets a lot of hate in general, I can't see why. Their first four albums are all great - Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts being one of those (or did they make a 'Peanuts' remix album...)

41. Paul Simon – Songs From The Capeman OST

I can imagine that this album either grabs you or not at all (Paul Simon mixes up salsa & doo-wop together with Ruben Blades and Marc Anthony), but I love this one. 'Born In Puerto Rico' is stunningly gorgeous, it's far from the only gem on here.

I can also enjoy listening to Neil Young's rockin' album; Oasis' SOTSOG is certainly their worst but it's got a couple of excellent songs on it.

Dirty Work is a good, often great Stones album despite the cover.

TM II is on this list because the editors thought, "lol Tin Machine and lime green suits."

Who knew positivity could be so hilarious! This inspired me to check out each of these records. As for this entry:

34. Fishspooner - #1

While I've yet to really swim the ocean of this entire album, "Emerge" by Fischerspooner is pretty awesome. This mityped band name reminded me of a dinner party I had amidst the Electroclash era, where the passing around of a plate of salmon and a large serving utensil led a guest to ask my friend "Will you be the fish-er spooner?", which he replied, "Only if you pour the Larry tea."

Ayyyy-O!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I don't know how I missed this altogether. Putting Midnite Vultures, Saturnzreturn (and I get swatted for it every time I say it but I'll still say again that I think I prefer it to Timeless) and Metal Machine Music on a 'worst albums of all-time' list is a fairly succinct way of stating that you're an unserious publication, I guess, if that's what you're going for, Q.

Hawks & Doves is great, side 1 is actually 70s stuff intended for the scuttled Homegrown album, includes Captain Kennedy
