Coming in the New Year - CMU's poll of the best ever music polls. Which of the 8,500 pointless music surveys conducted in the last five years was your favourite?
Well, here's another one to consider. Channel 4 are putting together a list of the UK's favourite 100 albums of the last 50 years (which hardly seems fair to us Glenn Miller fans). The survey's producers will publish a list of albums on which we, the general public, will be able to vote - with the final 100 presented in reverse order of popularity on one of those Channel 4 poll show things.
The list prepared by Channel 4 reportedly includes three albums from the Beatles, two from Dylan, the Stones and Bowie, plus albums from Jimi Hendrix, The Beach Boys, The Sex Pistols, Abba, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and, from more recent times, Dido, The Darkness, The Libertines, Scissor Sisters, The Streets and Dizzee Rascal. The oldest is album on the list is Billie Holiday's 'Lady Sings The Blues', which was released in 1957.
