The Strokes’ breakout album Is This It has taken the #1 spot in NME’s ‘Top 100 Albums Of The Decade’ poll. The list, decided by “a panel of musicians, producers, writers and record label bosses”, is sure to spark the kind of impassioned debate beloved of editorial teams (hey guys).

The top ten is filled out by a cast of NME favourites, among them The Libertines, Primal Scream, Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire. There are plenty of talking points throughout the countdown – Radiohead’s In Rainbows ranking above Kid A, The Streets making two entries into the Top 20 – and that’s all part of the fun.
