3. The Wall absolutely deserves a top fifty placing, if not top twenty.

4. Indie Rock? Even if you're not a fan of the genre, their damn sure should be some great bands on the list.

5. Led Zeppelin's IV was really low, this makes no sense to me at all.

Now, I understand I'm hard to please, hell, anyone is with a list of 500 bands/albums, but this is just terrible. They could've done a much better job.

I would hope that, if the entire staff were to have reviewed their list and provided their input on its oversights, there would have been fewer oversights. Its clear this was not the case and it was the doings of a "select few." (for lack of a better term)
Understand when reading this, that I am someone who owns not only two pink floyd T-Shirts, but also a Dark Side of the Moon tie, and a dozen or so floyd albums.

The Wall, while a great album, is not top 20 or top 50 material. Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are both better albums, and I'd be tempted to say that Meddle is better aswell. There's no way you're going to put 4 albums by one band not named "the beatles" in any top whatever list.

Top 100 or 200, fine, not top 50.

Makes sense to me. For the most part, I seem to overrate The Wall, so I expected a reply like this. I can't put my finger on it, but I just love The Wall so much more then the other albums, although I still love them all.

Did anyone catch the Howard Stern show after this list? He was flying off on all the people who created this list. He was calling them idiots. I agree. Go Howard.
