Made similarly to the ''Rolling Stone''s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, the list was voted for by ''NME'' journalists past and present, each of whom submitted a weighted list of 50 albums.Reception
This ''NME'' listing was criticized by the media. ''The Smiths' ''The Queen Is Dead'' is the greatest album of all time.

Meanwhile, the band Queen is nowhere on the list at all, whereas Queens of the Stone Age shows up thrice (they also show up Thrice, who don't appear). Some other interesting highlights include Oasis' ''Definitely Maybe ''Definitely Maybe'' is the debut studio album by the English rock band Oasis, released on 29 August 1994 by Creation Records. The album features Noel Gallagher on lead guitar, backing vocals and as chief songwriter, Liam Gallagher on lead vo ...'' starting the top 10, PJ Harvey's ''Let England Shake ''Let England Shake'' is the eighth studio album by the English singer-songwriter and musician PJ Harvey, released on 14 February 2011 by Island Records.

(13) slotting higher than My Bloody Valentine's ''Loveless Loveless may refer to: Comics and literature * Loveless (comics), ''Loveless'' (comics), a comic book series by Brian Azzarello, Marcelo Frusin, Danijel Zezelj, and Werther Dell'Edera * Loveless (manga), ''Loveless'' (manga), a manga series by Y ...''

More oddities: The highest ranked Michael Jackson album ('' Thriller'') hits at 131, while LCD Soundsystem broke the top 50 with ''Sound of Silver ''Sound of Silver'' is the second studio album by American rock band LCD Soundsystem. The album was released jointly by DFA and Capitol Records in the United States, and by EMI internationally, first appearing on March 12, 2007, in the United ...'' (49). It's rad that Jimmy Eat World's '' Bleed American'' (429) made it on, but having it one spot below Bruce Springsteen's '' Born in the U.S.A.'' and two above Soundgarden's ''Badmotorfinger ''Badmotorfinger'' is the third studio album by American rock band Soundgarden, released on October 8, 1991, through A&M Records.

(148) isn’t quite as good as Frank Ocean’s '' Channel Orange'' (147), but slightly better than Elliott Smith's '' Either/Or'' (149) and The Streets '' Original Pirate Material'' (150). Also, apparently Arctic Monkeys' one-month-old '' AM'' (449) is already better than Big Star's ''Third Third or 3rd may refer to: Numbers * 3rd, the ordinal form of the cardinal number 3 * , a fraction of one third * 1⁄60 of a ''second'', i.e., the third in a series of fractional parts in a sexagesimal number system Places * 3rd Street (di ...''
