MPs Choose Their Top Albums Of All Time

A batch of MPs have been asked by The British Library to name their favourite album of all time and The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan have all come out on top.

Despite Tory leader David Cameron recently decreeing his undying love for Radiohead, contemporary acts haven’t fared too well in the poll.

Amongst those singing The Beatles’ praises were Michael Howard (‘White Album’), Education Secretary Alan Johnson (‘Revolver’) and Culture Secretary Tessa Jowel (‘Sgt Pepper’).

Lembit Opik went down a rockier avenue chosing ‘Led Zeppelin 2’, saying:  "Zeppelin made a new kind of music. They created a genre many have copied but no-one has equalled. And 'Whole Lotta Love' is the greatest rock song ever."

Respect MP and Big Brother prat George Galloway picked ‘Blood On The Tracks’ by Bob Dylan.

Amongst those with slightly suspect tastes was Labour MP Rosemary McKenna who said of her choice, ‘Saturday Night Fever’: "It's a fantastic dance album and never fails to make me smile. It's the most played on my iPod and in my car."

Unsurprisingly Cradle of Filth didn’t feature in the poll.
