The 61-year-old music weekly the NME (New Musical Express) has voted The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths as its favourite album of all time .
In a poll of its journalists past and present, the magazine this week reveals its top 500 albums ever; and with a nod to the changing nature of the music business and people's listening habits, or perhaps in a typically knowing bit of irreverence, described its poll as "the final, definitive, definitely last of its kind, never to be repeated, comprehensive and absolutely accurate word on the best records ever."
