Another bonehead list. (http://www.rollingstone.com/features/coverstory/featuregen.asp?pid=2164)

500 is such a cop-out.

Geez I could go on and on. I own all but 22 of these albums...

But some observations..

I'll stir the pot again and state that Pet Sounds is better than Sgt. Pepper's. Ron agrees with me.

I allege that Led Zep beats The Who, even though my Led Zep hating friends took glee that The Who beat out Led Zep for first album mention.

Big ups for Love scoring so high, all Big Star albums mentioned,
Pavement, Exile in Guyville, Grace, etc. Some readers know good stuff.

But Let it Be (Replacements) should have been higher than Tim, and any list that doesn't have The Replacments in the top 2% of its ranking is just wrong.

I hate that they played it safe and called Sgt Pepper the best album. The Beatle's Revolver, Rubber Soul and the White Album were so much better (And I'd think the White Album would be a really safe choice)

I'm a huge beatles fan and hardly listen to Sgt Pepper.

The Stones should put out "Let it Bleed...Naked"

How do you mean? There isn't a lot of excessive instrumentation there.

Well; Prog-Nerds like me look at the List and give a Sigh: Hey, I will admit most Prog-Rock [think Yes, ELP, and later Dream Theatre and Spock's Beard] is overblown and pretentious Shit, but to not include this???

http://members.aol.com/miketeachr/crim

In 1969 "In The Court of the Crimson King" was released by King Crimson; a line-up including Greg Lake who would later go on to ELP, and Ian McDonald who would go on to Foreigner. And founder Robert Fripp has played with Bowie, Gabriel, The Damned, Tool...

It's dated, it's pretentious, it's overblown, but the first track: 21st Century Schizoid Man for some, is The Seminal Prog Song. For 1969, it's heavy as Fuck.

My $ 1/50.

Wow, what a couple of years has done. Ok Computer was a consenus top 10 of all time about 3 or 4 years ago. Now it's not even the top Radiohead album on the list.

Same with the decline of Superunknown, will it even be on the list a couple of years? Sad.

PJ Harvey would have been a lot higher if I had anything to do with it. Same with Giant Steps.

Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums

Holy crap, I know the Stones have been around for ages, but they managed to put out 500 albums ??? How many little bastards does Mick have running around out there that they need to keep recording ???

[who6489]

These things are a joke. How can you have "all-time" when you do it every year? I thought the last one would be in 2000 for "Greatest of the century" and that would be it until at least 2010 with "greatest of the 00's"
But all-time would be at the time you die, right?
So when Jan Winter dies (that's the editor of RS, right) it will be his greatest of HIS time.
And why are their "Greatest Hits" albums on there?
Shouldn't it be individual studio albums?

Take it easy Clarky

Rolling Stone just hasn't been the same since Ben Fong-Torres left. Their first step down the slippery-slope of sell-out was when they started stapling the sumbitch.

and when you're bad you die when you die

[badorties]

how can you have a list of 500 top anything ..... it's kind of like the special olympics where everyone gets a medal ..... after the top (maybe) 50, do you even care that #219 'loveless' by my bloody valentine placed higher than #220 'new orleans piano' by professor longhair .....

plus, it's another baby boomer list to celebrate a five year period in the mid to late 60s with 9 of the top ten accounting for this era ..... in a few generations, when the beatles loose their aura of being the alpha and omega of pop culture -- these lists might be a little more even handed .....

The Seminal Prog Song

Just as Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" was the seminal pop song which used a sample of Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure."
