The Beatles : extravagance des classements

C’est à ce jour que le magazine musical britannique NME rend public le classement des 100 meilleurs albums de tous les temps… et grande surprise, ce n’est pas les Beatles qui arrivent en tête, mais « The Stone Roses ». les Beatles n’arrivent que péniblement à classer « Revolver » à la cinquième place, et l’album éponyme « The Beatles » à la 24eme position.
