What's the greatest album of all time? There are as many opinions as there are people, but this book gets as close as possible to an answer. This is the chart of charts, the poll of polls: two years' worth of accumulated votes collected from all over the world by post, telephone, fax and over the Internet. With more than 200,000 votes it represents a vast range of views and opinions, from critics, journalists and the people who really count: the fans. There's an entry for each of the 1000 albums, including a full track listing, chart positions and album cover. There are lists by genre, lists by key artists, recommended box sets, forgotten classics and - new to this edition - the top 100 singles of all time.
