We all love a music poll, and the latest one by the UK’s Q Magazine has Radiohead’s Ok Computer topping a reader’s poll of the best album of the last 25 years. The band also managed to snaffle eighth spot with their second long player, The Bends. Nirvana’s Nevermind came in at Number two, while Neutral Milk Hotel making number 16 is a surprise. Overall, the list is UK centric and reflects the overall white male readership of the magazine. There are few black artists, and few women. Who else would you include?
