It was tough to choose, but I went with Born to Run (one of the greatest albums ever :rock), London Calling and Exile.

[Quincy]

London Calling, OK Computer, American Beauty

[blueone]

Hunky Dory, Born To Run, American Beauty. :)

[clewis]

Sabbbatttthhhhhhhh.

[sipowicz]

OK, Born To Run, and Berlin.

[hildegoat]

Exile, White Album, OK Computer.

[la twinkle]

White, In Utero, Hunky Dory. I wanted to go Ok aswell but it already has a lead so gave that to Bowie.

[ferris wheel junkie]

oh, bummer. i fortotted i could have three votes.

oh well... aside from the one i did vote for, none of those ones are big favourites for me anyway.

[Chesterfieldking]

OK/London/Utero

[SkortBrun]

Exile/Swordfish/Hunky

Never really understood why OK Computer is so popular. Different strokes and what not I suppose.

I liked it for a bit, but that was it. I actually prefer Kid A.

[Kevin McF]

Kid A is amazing, but it shouldnt take anything away from OKC

[sipowicz]

Group C is going to kill me, with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory, Astral Weeks, This Year’s Model, GP/Grievous Angel, Pet Sounds and Automatic for the People and group just doesn't seem fair, at all...

[foggy]

Group B is gonna be impossible for me. It groups 8 of my favorite albums. saddo

[Faded Rose]

Born to Run - I love this type of Bruce. Also Nirvana and Tapestry is one of my all time favourites and I haven't listened to it in years - in fact I can't even find the album any more in my collection although it must be there.

I would have liked to have voted for American Beauty but I prefer my Dead live.

[foggy]

Tapestry is one of my all time favourites and I haven't

It's one of my favorites too, I'd have voted for it but The Beatles, Bowie, and The Clash all edged it out.

It's amazing how some old records really stand the test of time and don't seem to date.

[Sydneyfan]

This is closing very soon.

[Sydneyfan]

And some hopeless person forgot about this poll :rock

Okay, Black Sabbath and Lou Reed are out. We have a tie between Tapestry and Swordfishtrombone though. So tiebreaker coming up.
