Uncut - 300 greatest albums of Uncut's Lifetime

In mei 1997 verscheen het eerste nummer van Uncut. In mei 2022 staat de redactie stil bij het vijfentwintigjarig bestaan en publiceren een top 300 van de 'beste' albums die in de afgelopen 25 jaar zijn verschenen.

Er zijn vijf artiesten met vier albums: Nick Cave, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Wilco & Neil Young.

Acht artiesten met drie platen: Bon iver, Broadcast, Fleet foxes, PJ Harvey, LCD Soundsystem, Bruce Springsteen, Gillian Welch & White stripes.

Het 'beste' jaar was 1998, maar liefst 19 titels komen uit dat jaar. Drie jaren 'leverden' slechts zes titels: 2008, 2009 en 2021). Klik hier voor het overzicht.

Vijftien jaar geleden verscheen een vergelijkbare lijst (november 2009) ter gelegenheid van het 12,5 jarig bestaan: 150 greatest albums of the decade.

Opmerkelijk blijft dat het mei-nummer reeds begin maart verschijnt.
