2006 NME's 100 Best
Albums of All Time |
|
Some 40,000 music fans were
asked to name their favourite work in a survey by the book of British Hit
Singles and Albums and NME.com. The vote was announced in last year's
edition of British Hit Singles & Albums, said editor David Roberts. Anyone
could vote for as many as 10 albums, in rank order, and probably 95
percent of the 40,000 votes came from Britain, he said. |
