If the eligible albums had to be released in 1981 or later, then none of them are “Greatest Album”.

They might be “Greatest Album Released After 1981 When the Record Industry Began to Die Because it Focused Marketing on So-Called-Innovation Rather Than Talent”

It didn’t help when Achmenijad started wearing his jacket.

I was on a SCUBA diving trip in the Sea Of Cortez in the early 80’s and one of my fellow divers played that album CONSTANTLY on the dive boat. The only escape was in the water. Several others wanted to destroy the tape but the owner honestly loved it. C. Lee Woodard, where ever you are, you’ll never know how close that tape came to being deep sixed.

Craig David’s ‘Born To Do It’ came second.

I consider myself reasonably in touch with pop culture, but find myself forced to admit I have no idea who Craig David is.

No kidding. No Beatles, no Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. Stupid top 10 is all it is...

Miles Davis’ Sketches of Spain is better. So is The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds.

I wouldn't say that Thriller was the greatest album, but it definitely was an outstanding album.

It's too bad what ended up happening. A whole mess of horrible choices and we have the Michael Jackson of today.

More deception from Viacommie.

“The MTV poll included albums dating back to 1981”

It isn’t the poll of the greatest albums of all time. It is a poll of the greates albums since 1981.

And even then, it fails.

Dark Side of the Moon ... Pink Floyd

Days of Future Past ... Moody Blues

... anything less isn’t even worthy of consideration.

( N.B. I will neglect Sound Track albums, otherwise #1 is ‘An American in Paris’. )

I won’t even listen to anything from that serial child-molester. If he pops up on the radio, I leave the station. If he’s played in the background musak in a store, I leave the store. Zero tolerance at its best ...

How could at least one of the three great Dire Straits albums Making Movies/Love Over Gold/Brothers In Arms, not be in the Top Ten since 81?

Gotta be biggest seller basically. Thriller still tops that chart. Can think of a LOT of other albums that are better, but none sold more.

I don’t know about “greatest album of all time” but it was one heck of a music video.
