1. Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head (2002)the full 100
2. Keane - Hopes and Fears (2004)

Now what surprised me, given how frequently "it" seemed to be vying with SPLHCB** for Top Billing in "Best Album" polls in the past, when I assumed it was clocking up votes from oldies, crinklies and wrinklies of a similar generation to those citing SPLHCB as "the best" is that "Pet Sounds"** doesn't even make the Top 30 in this poll, coming in at Number 33.
**Update/Addendum
I've always preferred Revolver to SPLHCB and Surf's Up to Pet Sounds, but then I admit I am regarded as a little odd and twisted - the first LP I purchased was "Safe as Milk" by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band and I can well remember the look of disbelief on the Pater's fizzog when he heard that ....
