Thousands of votes were cast in BBC 6 Music's search to find the most overrated album in the world ever. Here are the final results:

1. Nirvana - Nevermind

"One great single maybe but the rest is irritating second rate rock with mindless whining that had, has been, and is being written everywhere by admittedly less pretty and tragic characters."
Greg Spellman, Northamptonshire

"There were many better bands - Dinosaur Jr, Mudhoney, The Pixies - who came before. Nirvana just came along at the right time and captured that Zeitgeist and then became the marketing mans dream."
Ewan Swain

"Whilst I quite enjoy "In Uetro" I can't see what all the fuss about 'Nevermind' is about. Other than "Smells like..." there really isn't a decent tune on there."
Chris, Birmingham

2) COLDPLAY - X&Y (2005)

3) THE LIBERTINES - THE LIBERTINES (2004)

4) OASIS - DEFINITELY MAYBE (1994)

5) U2 - THE JOSHUA TREE (1987)

6) RADIOHEAD - OK COMPUTER (1997)

7) THE BEATLES - SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (1967)

8) THE BEACH BOYS - PET SOUNDS (1966)

9) SEX PISTOLS - NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS (1977)

10) THE SMITHS - THE QUEEN IS DEAD (1986)

6Music sucks, but so much Yes on the Smiths and Libertines. Yawn.

	I totally agree with all of those, especially Oasis and Libertines. I'd rather poke a screwdriver in my ear than listen to those albums. (Reply to this)

	Okayyy, the Smiths really are overrated in general - not just the album. And with the Coldplay thing - like I don't see how anyone can hate them - but every song on that CD sounds the same to me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	prologues 2005-10-02 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	people hate them because people like to compare them to radiohead.. then again, the people not the band should be hated for a statement like that (Reply to this) (Parent)

	stickhandling 2005-10-02 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	I definitley don't agree with 4 - 6. Those albums are amazing. Coldplay's? Yeah. Defintiley see that. And it's about time someone said that Nevermind was overrated. (Reply to this)

	nowheregirlnd 2005-10-02 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	agree with nirvana and coldplay. all of coldplay's songs sound exactly the same. (Reply to this) (Thread)
