While (supposedly, and I say this as I am not a Clash fan per say and don't find this album to be one of Strummer's stronger talent endorsements) London Calling is regarded as one of the best albums ever recorded, I have a hard time seeing it listed higher then a Beatles Album. Even a rather weak one like Revolver.

While it makes me happy to see so much Punk represented on this list, I can't ignore the sheer stupidity of the person writing this when you have NUMEROUS iconic British bands. The lack of Led Zepplin or The Rolling Stones makes it hard to believe. Even Elton John should be on here somewhere.
