Q 5 STAR LPs

...up until 1997 - the undisputed benchmark of UK popular musical criticism.
Why can't I find the full list on the internet anymore?
Does anyone have it handy?
If yes, could you plonk it on a reply?
Lots of fun to be had here

It's odd
but whenever I think of Q's 5 star reviews, all I can remember is the Milltown Brothers...
No way
...you're joking, right?
Slinky is a 5 star album.
No questions, no argument.
You are wrong if you do not believe this IMHO.
The evidence of their greatness is clearly demonstrated in the following three tracks...
Enjoy!
Not the list you're looking for
but lots of other Q lists here:

I know
...plenty of utterly useless wastes of time (e.g. 100 Women Who Rock The World?! I ask you) but no list of 5 star Lps, anywhere.
Used to be on Wiki, but not anymore
... up until August 1997 to be precise!
.
Yup
but they came damn close in September 1991. That was revolting
Anyone remember this lot?
The album was called Blue Tomato. I'm sure it got five stars in 1990.
It was released twenty years ago this month
(if you're reading this in October). The Blue Nile. Hats. Five stars. I will never, ever, get tired of hearing this album.
Jellyfish.
Bellybutton.
1991
*****
And dead right as well.
always remember being furious they didn't put BLUE LINES
in their top 50 of the YEAR in 1991. flash forward to mid 2000s and its in their top 50 of all time.
"The Undisputed Benchmark of UK Popular Music Criticism"
...indeed, bringing, as it did, five star gems such as "All About Chemistry" by Semisonic, "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" by Tears For Fears, and er...the second album by The Christians.
Looks like youve got the list Markieboy?
Plonk it on, then we can talk properly
I absolutely love Semisonic.
And even I didn't think All About Chemistry was worh five stars.
Saying that, it was from 2001 so out of the frame of discussion. So we can let them off a bit.
I think it was...
...the 5-star full-house for Troublegum by Therapy? that had me reaching for the scented handkerchief...
Troublegum? Great album
Screamager, Nowhere, very good cover of Isolation...worth 5 stars alone!
Is the BE HERE NOW elephant before or after the August 1997 cut off date? I know the album cover has the release date on it but was edition was it reviewed in.....?
Five Stars? Three Words.
Be. Here. Now.
Never trust a 5 star review.
The very first was...
... "Graceland" in issue 1 if I remember correctly, and I think that Daft Punk's "Discovery" got 5 stars in the same issue as "All About Chemistry", so there was clearly something in the water that month...
I got rid of my collection ages ago, but I'm sure that in one of their anniversary issues (no. 100 or 200, 10 or 20 years) they had a list of all their 5 star albums (I think they 'fessed up to falling for the "Be Here Now" hype...)
