Coldplay and Madonna have been snubbed by MTV in their search for the Greatest Album Ever.

 

Voting to find the top 10 albums since MTV was launched in 1981 will start this week across the network's three UK channels - MTV2, VH1 and MTV Base.

 

An MTV insider has revealed Coldplay - who recently lost out at the BRIT Awards, winning none of the four categories they were nominated in - will not be included on the shortlist, and neither will Madonna, whose first album, was released in 1982.

 

The shortlist of albums was compiled by industry experts, and MTV2, VH1 and MTV Base will each have their own top 10 list.

 

Jasmine Dotiwala, head of MTV Base, said discussions about the list became heated.

 

She wrote in a blog: "Myself and MTV Base's Trevor Nelson tried to remain unbiased, but we couldn't help putting our own views in when we really had to!

 

"Things really got heated when someone declared that So Solid Crew should be in the top 10. I cracked up!

 

"I agreed that So Solid beat down doors and brought a never seen before movement to the UK. But a classic album?"

 

It is believed acts including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mariah Carey, Craig David and Take That will feature.

 

Three albums are believed to be nominated in two different lists - Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', Nirvana's 'Nevermind' and Radiohead's 'OK Computer'.

That's ok. MTV isn't about music anymore anyway.

Exactly my thoughts mate. MTV was once about showing the best and most decent songs and music shows. Now its all about celebrities and “cribs” and “my sweet 16” and all other bull craps!! I actually think music channels are in their darkest era at the moment!:\

SO true. :dozey:.

 

mtv gives awards to shit now. like, britney spears and the jonas brothers.

 

they don't go by talent. they go by popularity.

 

fuck mtv.

Well really, this should say it all.

 

Not that a silly MTV greatest of all time list should really matter, but at the end of the day, this kind of thing is completely subjective, especially when you are mostly basing your opinion off whether you like the artist or not despite the impact they may have had on the music scene or whatever.

Oh well, MTV became a "we only care about the current celebrities and their mansions and cars and tiny dogs" channel anyway. :dozey:

And it's only gonna be this Trevor and this Jasmine persons' personal picks. So basically it's the "Two People We've Never Heard of, Picking Their 10 Favorite Albums of All Time". Oh boy! Can't wait for that! :dozey:

When was the last time MTV played a friggin video and who declared them the all knowing of music? They don't know shit. I was going to write "Fuck MTV "too but they aren't worth the "FUCK" .

Not sure this is much of a "snub", per se, seeing as how it's entirely to be expected. Not only are they looking at the past 30 years, but it's MTV.

:lol:

Jonas Bros should have what's left of their balls removed for this.

 

as for the thread...i think A Rush of Blood to the Head is the finest album of the dacade.

Mariah Carey over Coldplay? Is someone having a laugh?

Is this the same MTV who gave the honour of best artist in the world to Rick Ashley?

coldplay definatley should get best album for sure. they deserve it alot.

whos with me??

I trust MTV to tell me the "greatest album ever" almost as much as I trust Rolling Stone to tell me the 500 greatest songs & albums ever. :dozey:

 

(at least Rolling Stone included Coldplay, though, way down on the list...)
