Do you think they meant the United States Of America, who had a "psychedelic masterpiece" in 1968 with their self-titled debut? Uncut has made a lot of that album recently.
Just to mention, I'm from Ireland and Hot Press magazine is considered a joke. They're completley out of touch with the modern scene and the exclusion of Prince is no surprise for them. Incidentally they are celebrating 30 years and ran an article on the their end of year poll in '77. Several unheard of albums included but not chosen were:
Television - Marquee Moon
The Clash - The Clash
David Bowie - Low & Heroes
Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express
Wire - Pink Flag
Ramones - Rocket To Russia
Talking Heads - Talking Heads '77
Iggy Pop - The Idiot
and.....
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks.
For those who criticise the list or publication, there's your ammunition.
Oh get real. You can't start dismissing lists just 'cos you don't like a couple of the voters & they missed a couple of your favourites. Otherwise every list becomes automatically invalid.
By the way, that's incorrect about Prince; on their all-time list in 1989 Sign 'O The Times came in 3rd & Purple Rain 26th. Sign 'O The Times was also their 2nd best of 1987.
