MTV UK's Greatest Albums Ever: Michael Jackson, Radiohead, And… Craig David?
When you open up an MTV sponsored Greatest Albums Ever vote to the public, you are bound to get some wacky results, such as the second place finish of Craig David’s “Born To Do It.”
For those of you who don’t remember, Craig David had a hit song with “Fill Me In” in 2001. His career has done considerably better in the UK, but one wonders if “Born To Do It” was actually voted in by fans or just by people looking to, as they say, “take the piss.”
The list is composed of albums that have come out since MTV hit the air in 1981- Thriller, Nevermind, and Appetite For Destruction all take top spots. Is Fill Me In a better record than OK Computer? In my opinion, no. But I didn’t vote, so my opinion doesn’t mean anything. Like the bumper sticker says, “Don’t vote, don’t bitch about Craig David.”
So commenters, what do YOU think are the best albums of the past 28 years? Here’s a clip from one of my nominees:
