Actually i don't, saying a album is the best doesn't convince me. Doesn't it make the best just because Rolling Stone Magazine said so?

Urban Hat€monger ? · 12-07-2014, 08:26 PM

Ok so which ones would you take out, what would you replace them with, why would you replace them with those?

ladyislingering · 12-07-2014, 08:27 PM

Though I enjoy Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, I can't think of any particular reason it even made this list at all, let alone topped it.

In my opinion The Stranger should be a lot higher, as it's one of the more beautifully produced, lush-sounding albums on the list. It could just be that I love the album and think it's perfect, ...but it's still a prettier listen than most of the albums (specifically The Joshua Tree and Nevermind - are you kidding me?) listed before it.

Rolling Stone magazine is trash.

Penehoff · 12-07-2014, 08:33 PM

Ok here is my problem with the whole list, i understand because most of all these albums date back over the past 40 to 50 years but honestly i do believe that there has been some truly marvelous albums written within the past 5 to 10 years. I do believe the Beatles and the Ramones do deserve to be on that last but the rest i seriously think they could be debated as mediocre.
