These are what Rolling Stone Magazine consider the best 500 albums since the dawn of time.

Top 500

How many you got and what's been left out (iyo)?

a search feature so I dont have to read all 500

Narate · 24-11-2003, 05:13

there are sooooooo many that dont belong their imo

e.g. PJ Harvey

Was odd to see Marvin G in top 10 and then again on 550+

I also thought there was far too much indie(crap) in there.

tomson · 24-11-2003, 06:04

hmm... no Westlife in there, surely a mistake!

JiRaffe · 24-11-2003, 08:20

glad to see Curtis Mayfields' Superfly soundtrack got in there at number 69. no innuendo intended. it's one of the best soundtracks you can get

obsessedSOADfan · 27-12-2006, 14:03

OK, they DEFINITELY forgot either SOAD's self-titled album or Toxicity

Dusteh · 27-12-2006, 16:06

I don't think they forgot SOAD. They just aren't 14.

At least you know they're number. 1 in you're heart. I personally would of put some DJ Shadow in there but it ain't my list.

I love the beatles but don't think their albums are the greatest. Maybe they just haven't stood the test of time, but all the albums have some weak tracks on them.

shakey · 24-01-2007, 08:55

i think the top 500 had such a heavy bias towards 60's and 70's rock and rock in particular, i think only 4 jazz albums made the list

karloff · 24-01-2007, 09:04

jazz is always underappreciated

rockn · 05-02-2007, 17:29

Jazz doesn't get the respect it deserves.

JakeDavis07 · 14-02-2007, 12:31

jazz, blows.

Guns n roses rules :P

I don't have interest in Jazz, but I wouldn't write it off. It has its major roots in music history. Plus, its the perfect thing to listen to at a fancy, laid back lounge.

On a second note, Guns N' Roses is my fav of all time. Blast my ears away when I weightlift each day. You can't be the intensity Axl brings to the table.

stuntman · 26-02-2008, 03:55

#19.
Astral Weeks
Van Morrison

should be #1

Kid A · 26-02-2008, 03:58

Neither Led Zep 4, Dark side of the moon, Who's next or Radiohead in the top 20. Im not interested, that my friends is a lot of shite.

JonoMarshall · 26-02-2008, 04:16

Pfff, it looks like a list my dad would make, pretty typical stuff if you ask me.

I'm guessing the RS editors were going for a "popular/memorable" list rather than anything with real stand out?

The singles list makes for better reading, just.

Dusteh · 26-02-2008, 04:58

Shock horror- Rolling Stone magazine top 500 seems grounded in 70's rock. Odd that.

Coops · 26-02-2008, 04:59

Exactly. Who cares what Rolling Stone think?
