Brits dominate Australia's favourite records

British bands dominate the top placings in an Australian poll to find the nation's favourite albums.

The survey, conducted by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), was topped by Pink Floyd's 1973 opus The Dark Side Of The Moon. The acclaimed record fended off the challenge from the late American Jeff Buckley's 1994 album Grace.

The remainder of the top five are occupied by British groups, with Radiohead's OK Computer in third place and The Beatles in both fourth and fifth spots with Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band respectively.
