Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Beatles' Revolver album has been voted the best British album in a poll of music writers. The 1966 album, with the classic tracks "For No One", "Here, There and Everywhere", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Good Day Sunshine" tops the list of 100 LPs and is one of six entries for the Fab Four, beating A Hard Day's Night (number five), The White Album (seven), Sgt Pepper's (13), Abbey Road (17) and Rubber Soul (21).
Behind the Beatles tally is David Bowie, with four entries, followed by the Rolling Stones, who have three.
As former Beatles, John Lennon features with the Plastic Ono Band album at number 62, while Sir Paul McCartney's group Wings make number 75 with Band On The Run.
Paul Weller has two entries - All Mod Cons, with the Jam (50) and Wild Wood (77) - recognising his work as a band member and as a solo artist.
Radiohead's acclaimed 1997 album OK Computer appears at number two and is judged to be the best album of the past decade in a list dominated by the Nineties. The chart, in the latest Q magazine, is restricted to performers or bands predominantly from the UK.
