Although I have a lot of disagreement with the choices on the list and the concept of the list, it still has a definite value as a list of undeniably important albums. More specifically, I don't like that it includes compilations and live albums. I feel it'd be much more valuable as simply a list of studio albums and that there be separate lists made for live and compilation albums respectively. Also, the biases towards artists like the Beatles and Bob Dylan are fairly obvious, not to mention that anything from the 70's and prior is immediately given a higher ranking than any later albums, often making historical relevance much more important than simply quality of music. Altogether, not the list I would have come up with, but definitely worth a look.

Interesting list, don't agree with all the choices, but fun to look at.

Rolling Stones take on music. It hadn't come out at the time the list was made, so I'll forgive them for not putting "Let it Bet -- Naked" as number one. If you haven't listened to it, go get it now. It's "Let it Be" the way it was meant to be -- four guys (five on some, with Billy Preston on keyboards) making music together. Even when the group was falling apart, they coulod rock.

To put greatest hits albums is unfair on a greatest albums list.

Everybody's gonna disagree on the order. I think this is a good place to start.

Completely biast list. Anyone who puts Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album as better then Pearl Jam's 'Ten' is clearly a moron.

I really have no interest what 'Rolling Stone' magazine thinks are its 500 best albums.
