Ive analysed this list quite a few times..then had my friends analysed it as well..I cant exactly tell if its a good list or not...Ill explain:
90% of what was there definitly belonged there...they are amazing albums that no one can disagree with......the converse is obvious, 10% of what was there didnt have a place on there at all...WHistney Houston-Whitney Houston should be no where on the list, as neither should Madonnas subpar albums of Music and Ray of light.....there were quite a few other albums that I was like "Huh?" when I saw them there, but Im not gonna go into them now.....
The list included greatest hits and compilations......this is a big no no......when doing a list of ablums, you dont include greatest hits albums....plus, I have no clue which greatest hits album they are refering to when they just say "greatest hits"...there are like 20 SLy and the family stone greatest hits albums....you shouldnt include them...
Compilations and soundtracks and live albums are tricky territory...part of me says "yeah, ok, include those" , but part of me says no way.....Soundtracks are themselves a seperate album, and no one can argue that the SOundtrack for Saturday night fever isnt an amazing album, but its a compilation soundtrack, not its own album....its tricky....I mean, how bout the soundtrack to Rushmore or the royal tennanbaums? those were amazing soundtracks......I just dont know
Live albums are like a greatest hit album, but live...I guess its ok to include them....
compilations...hmmm....this is very tricky....stuff like Nuggets and Phil Spectors christmas album are perfect compilations that everyone should own....but theyre exactly that, compilations....theyre not actual albums..same goes for Dylan and the Bands Basement tapes...its a compilation of unreleased stuff, not an actulal album......it depends with these...
the order was horrible..no way is Sgt pepper better than Abey Road or rubber soul....
there was a handful of stuff left off:
Truth-Jeff Beck group
Beck-ola-Jeff BEck Group
Beck bogert and appice
Relics-Pink Floyd
Crossroads-Bon Jovi
Slippery when wet-Bon Jovi
Boston-Boston
Frampton comes alive-Frampton
Mushwell hillbillies-Kinks
something by the Faces..not sure which..
there are more

Crossroads-Bon Jovi

yes and no...its more of a compilation with new songs......but I can see why you call it a greatest hits album....I guess I was just thinking like them lol

Looks like a typical Rolling Stone list to me. Rock music might as well have died back in 1979 as far as a list like this is concerned. There is a handful of releases from the 80s and 90s there, but most of it is the same roll call of over-rated and boring dreck they dredge up everytime they do one of these lists. It is, however, much better than their list of best guitarists they did six months ago. I still can't believe how wrong they got that.

Subject: Re: Rolling Stone Top 500 Lp's...Pretty Decent
If it's a top 500 LP list is that just vinyl records then?
I can see how the Beatles would dominate the list :)

The list still sucks. I mean, they included MEET THE BEATLES and the nearly identical UK version WITH THE BEATLES. And there are a bunch of ridiculous redunancies along those lines.
As much as I like the Beatles, yet another list kissing their four fab butts is, again, BOOOOORING
Subject: Re: Rolling Stone Top 500 Lp's...Pretty Decent
Kenny is right. But as I said, this is the Rolling Stone list, so the majority of it is going to be mouldy oldy stuff. Some of it hasn't even aged well.
