uhh..... i'm pretty sure thinking of the popular mainstream and then picking their best albums is how any stupid poll like that works.
1. among the living
2. ride the lightning
3. survive
4. appetite for des.
5. number of the beast
6. south of heaven
7. state of euphoria (even anthrax hates this one, but I guess i'm just awesome)
8. peace sells
10. shout at the devil

It's a list made by British shoegazers, who don't actually listen to music. Q-readers only read about the music Q writes about, and therefore they are extremely knowledgable about music in general.
It's not a 'best of the 80s metal list' btw. Thank God. If Q decides to make that list, it will be probably be crap. Even Kerrang can't make that list, unless they copy it from buttlips' post.

The Smiths, Stone Roses, Joy Division and the Pixies always hits the charts in UK, but nowhere else in the civilized world.
And U2 are always on the top of the lists in UK. So are Radiohead as well. But where are they!?

What the hell kind of a list is this? I expected Thriller to be up there (and it should probably be #1 by consensus even though I'm no MJ fan) but Kate Bush? The Stone Roses? Happy Mondays? Joy Division? What the fuck kind of a list is this?? If I had to actually communicate with someone who believes this is a good list I think I'd have to hang myself within the first 5 minutes...

Whenever a bunch of " Self procliamed Enlighted music experts" get together to make "Best of lists" it always a safe bet its gonna stink !!! Its just a way for these folks to promote whatever they're personnel tastes are and nothing more !!

Wham should have been in the top 3.
Actually, I would go with Overkill's-"Under the Influence" as my number 1 choice. I love everyone's metal picks but that would be my numero uno.
"Mad Gone World" and "Shred" are 2 songs that still make me feel like I could break rocks with my head.

I think that you missed the point.
We're not referring to people giving their own lists; we're referring to the whining bitches complaining about how the list sucks, when it's obvious that they've never listened to most of what's on there.
