Unsurprisingly, the critics are not as enamoured with soundtracks as the album buying public. In fact there are no soundtracks on the critics list. Another difference - there are very few greatest hits collections or anthologies in the critics list.
1. The Beatles - 6 entries
No surprise that the Beatles are #1 - but Please Please Me is an interesting inclusion.
Revolver (#1 overall)
White Album (#2 overall)
Abbey Road
Rubber Soul
Sgt Pepper
Please Please Me
2. The Rolling Stones - 5 entries
A fitting acknowledgement of an incredible creative period from 1968 to 1978
Exile on Main Street (#3 overall)
Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Some Girls
3. Bob Dylan - 4 entries
Another incredible creative decade - from 1965 to 1975
Blood on the Tracks
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde
Bringing it All Back Home
4. David Bowie - 3 entries
Ziggy Stardust
Hunky Dory
Low
5.= - 2 entries
Now things really open up...
Blur, Elvis Presley, Joy Division, Michael Jackson, Nirvana, The Band, The Clash, U2
Everyone else - 1 entry
Some very worthy inclusions here. Surprising that Led Zep, Floyd, Radiohead, Neil Young don't record more entries. Tall poppy syndrome?
