As lists like these go, that's not a bad list.

Edit: I took the liberty of including the actual list in your post.
Hope you don't mind.

This is really bad. Worse than Pitchforks, and only a little better than the NME's. Three Coldplay? Four Kanye West albums? No thanks...

Pretty predictable list but it's what I've come to expect from Rolling Stone. Apparently metal did not exist this past decade...

Agreed. I trust Rolling Stone less than any other major publication honestly.

It's Rolling Stone. I'm not even going to read it.

Those are the albums that I would consider for such a list... 24/100 ain't bad for rolling stone... they left out some pretty big ones, but at least they got #1 right.

i think you got played like a fiddle.

sidewinder nails it with his comment. Rolling Stone hasn't been worth the paper it's printed on in a very long time. every few months they plop out a contentious list of X albums and people pick it up and present it to the world to see under the guise of discontent at their choices.

you just did their marketing department's job.

Same here. It's been a long time since I picked up a copy of RS.
