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...

How would you like it if the Warez scene's next victim was someone you loved. So do the right thing, and don't do warez; because it's wrong. Morally, and ethically wrong.

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.

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
I though the White Album was considered to be the Beatle's best album?  |

NO ****ING WAY.
White album was an ABORTION.
Rubber Soul
Sgt Pepper
Revolver
Let it Be
Abby Road
In any order are all way, way better.
There are two different bands called "The Beatles" Imo. There's the real beatles IE: on drugs and making good music, and then there's the early 60's sucky pop crap beatles.
Beatles - LSD = Suck.

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 disagree
The Beatles were great in both eras...and they evolved music in each era, too...which makes me sad they broke up.
Songs like
Help!
Please Please Me
Yesterday
Penny Lane
are all great IMO. but I also love songs like While My Guitar Gently Weeps and A Day in the Life. So I get the best of both worlds

Re: The Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums
I haven't read the whole list... just the first 100 but so far looks like a pretty good list. While I agree that some might think that the order is a little off, this list is not based on the minority opinion, so keep that in mind.
PS: I'm happy to see Billy Joel and The Clash and the 70's bands like SEx Pistols and the Doors on the first page. They had a lot of talent (even if I don't listen to the music that much)

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.
