NME editor Krissi Murison said: "This is the definitive word on the greatest albums of the noughties – as voted for by everyone who helped make music brilliant this decade."
(FYI Murison is American and replaced Conor McNicholas, if that makes any difference to you...)
I guess I'm not up to speed with the kids OR the times b/c of these 50, I own...let's see...3 of these. I see some serious omissions...a major problem of this list is that albums released in the last 2 years haven't had their shelf life tested yet, so this list is unfair against albums released in 2008 and 2009 IMO.
...and are Wild Beasts really that great?
