Are they? If so they're wrong.

Don't you agree that's it's a little crazy to give almost half the "best album of all time" slots to one band though? As I indicated in the second post in this thread, that's just one of many issues with RS's list though. The fact that, according to them, every "best album of all time" was released within the span of two decades, by only the US and UK, almost exclusively within the rock genre is the really absurd part.

It's not really that odd since people are reacting to the top 10, not the top 500.

But i included the list of the bands with the most entries in my original post...It wasn't put there to be ignored. The context of the list is just as important......and the context states that The Beatles, the Stones and Dylan are hogging up the most entries. If the issue is that The Beatles are so over exposed and "run into the ground" by fans why isn't Mick Jagger targeted? The man is a self confessed sell out and the sheer amount of recycled crappy compilations that the Stones release every year makes them far more over exposed. their logo has become a cheap image to tack onto t-shirts but apparently the Beatles are the ones we should all be angry at?

Do I look like your slave? I'm not obligated to click on every link you post just because you post it. I read your post, then I moved on. Quit being a whiny, internet pissant. Jesus Christ.

I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying here. There's no list in your original post.

If you take a look at my last reply to you (or at the first post I made in this thread), you'll see that my gripe is with the list as a whole, not just the Beatles.

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing... its different and I like it but TBH I'm not exactly digging it... I'm more into electronica from Thievery Corporation, Prodigy, etc.

Fugazi - Thirteen Songs - I'm digging them!

Swans - Cop - A bit too explicit to my liking (from Amazon) so I've not gotten around to them yet.

i didnt post any links......awkward.....

The context of the list is Rolling Stone. The context of this forum is much broader. I don't think most of us are surprised, offended, or otherwise moved at all by a mainstream publication's top ten.

blackdragon123 · 08-06-2012, 11:37 AM

judging by the crybaby remarks made about the thread i would beg to differ

I know, I just checked. How on earth would I know about a bigger list if you never even mentioned it?

blackdragon123 · 08-06-2012, 11:39 AM

I didn't say i included the list...i said i included a list of the bands that had the most entries on the "500" list.....do you feel silly? cause you should
