The Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums
Its a pretty good list IMO. The Beatles definately owned it.
http://www.rollingstone.com/features...n.asp?pid=2164
I'm sure lots of you will be sad to hear that Spears and Timberlake didn't make it, but don't worry, The Smashing Pumpkins are on there twice 
EDIT: There was one thing I disagree with right off the bat. I don't think nevermind - nirvanan should be on their. I think in utero was their best album...

Re: The Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums
Good list!
But that
43. The Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd
is a bit to low.
Can't please everybody I guess.

Glad to see Eminem's three main albums are on there.

Re: The Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums
Yeah, the Beatles rocked that list. Bob Dylan also represented pretty good.
No Weird Al??!?

Re: The Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums
Sorry, that list is terrible, sure alot of the stuff on there is correct and deserves to be there, but the order in which they are put in is appauling. And some of the albums on there just DON'T deserve to be there.
For a start, Jimi's best album was electric ladyland, everyone knows that! And
Revolver was The Beatles best album... (IMO)
And one of the biggest mistakes is not putting Jeff Buckley's Grace in the top 100.....
Glad they put U2's old stuff there, but where the hell is Sound Garden's A-Sides? Pearl Jam's Ten should have been much higher, atleast a place next to Nevermind, and much further away from Eminem!

Re: The Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums
Out of 500 albums, I own only one of them.
Oasis - What's the Story (Morning Glory)?
I used to own Born in the U.S.A. on tape but i wore it out from listening to it too much.
I can't believe Alanis Morisette is on there. I sold that cd away because I was embarassed to have it.
If this list was made about a year or two in the future, I'm pretty sure The Strokes wouldn't be on there. Just a fad band.
And Eminem only gets to be on there because of all the controversy he stirred up and because if he wasn't, RS would lose all their readers.
Meh.

I think I would be more embarrassed to be a self-proclamed metal head with at least two Hanson songs getting regular play on the computer.

First of all Jagged Little Pill was a very provocative album. No one had ever seen that kind of heart and soul poured out into an album. It's good the whole way through.
Next Eminem opened up areas in rap unopen to us white folk. He's one of the greatest performers ever. He's up there with Elvis and The Beatles. Not to mention the intelligence level of his rap. He's a rapping and rhyming fool. He can spin it better than most African-American rappers.
As for the Strokes... They have done some different things with their music. But I agree that they are sorta a fad band.
Vampyr... Those weren't the top 22 of all time, they were the top 22 of the last 2 decades. Otherwise the beatles, elvis, and nirvana would have been the top three in everything.
Whoa I've looked over this list about 3 times now and maybe I'm retarted but I didn't see L.A. Woman by The Doors anywhere on here? Whoa!

Ya she was! I have no idea how. Sure its a good cd but I was shocked. I think that poll was an online one though, the kind just random visitors to the site go and vote for. It wasn't like a bunch of mtv editors got around and decided or something...

Yeah, your right, because the guy hosting it kept saying "Chosen by you the people!"
I think Alanis is good...but greatest CD ever?! C'mon!
And Nirvana and/or Kurt Cobain was on practically every list they had. They were chosen as the Greatest Band of all time....I like Nirvana, but I dont think I would rank them that high. Probably in the top 10, or at least 20, because they are an awesome band.

Re: The Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums
Lists in general are fairly useless...Not may people are ever going to agree on them, but that's precisely why lists are so popular. We can agree with them, we can disagree with them, and argue about them, etc...It will also fill up Rolling Stone's letter section next issue, which is good for them. I would have liked to see more albums that I liked on the list, but whatever.
