Bruce Springsteen. the Beatles and U2 dominate in a new US survey to find the best album. Publisher Tim Zagat surveyed some 10,500 music fans and found the following to be most popular:

1. Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

2. Abbey Rd - The Beatles

3. Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

4.The Joshua Tree - U2

5. The White Album - The Beatles

Other albums in the top ten included Miles Davis's A Kind of Blue at 6 and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon at 9.

On his book Zagat told reporters: "I hope there is some controversy. People can argue until the cows come home over whether Mozart was a better songwriter than Bob Dylan. But just that you are juxtaposing Dylan and Mozart catches you by surprise and makes you think."
