it's an appropriate title for that top 100 list...

 

just saying.

 

by the way, Rolling Stone is the Foxnews of the music industry.

 

just saying

are you in for a shock when they give you the surprise quiz at the gate of heaven to see if you get in!

by "old" do you mean someone over 16?

LOL! I was just gonna say uhhhhhhhhhh, was the person that made that list 50 or 60? PUH-LEEZE............

Where's "New Kid on the Block - Greatest Hits"?

Where's "New Kid on the Block - Greatest Hits"?

#1 with a bullet in your CD players

New Kids

No s***. Besides Nirvana, is there one band on that list that is relevant today?

Michael Jackson...

 

 

...without him I wouldn't have laughed so hard at the Jimmy Kimmel Show last night.

Let us all remember this is the same magazine that named Jack White of the White Stripes the 17th best guitarist of all-time, above John Frusciante (18th), and named Kurt Cobain #12 (Nirvana made good, but really simple songs) over Carlos Santana (15th), and Angus Young #96.

and named revolver over "what's the story morning glory?"

 

enough said:)

 

 

kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddding.

How do you even make a list like this? I mean where do you begin? There are probably indy albums they never heard that could be good. Is there a link to the whole list by chance?

Its on the Rolling Stones website. I just copied the list from there.

For point of reference, I am 30.

 

 

So I guess by old I mean someone your age

 

 

1. For point of reference, I am 30.

 

 

2. So I guess by old I mean someone your age 

 

 

 

1. Child...

 

and while you are still 30, keep playing Jefferson Airplane's song "Lather" - Lather was 30 years old today, they took away all of his toys, his mother sent nespaper clippings to him of his old friends who stopped being boys...

 

 

2. for sports and music, it is not called "age" or "being old," it is called "perspective"

for sports and music, it is not called "age" or "being old," it is called "perspective"

That is only what the old people call it

Obviously, someone who has a taste for old rock music made that list. I am happy to see the Ramones on it, but where in bloody hell is Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd?

Rolling Stone will just jump on the latest music trend and ram in into the ground saying how great a band is. For example right now they're getting on their knee's for all the "The" bands. I haven't seen the reviews specifically, maybe I'll look them up in a bit, but I guess every "The" band album to come out in the last year and a half has gotten a 5 star rating.

The latest issue of Rolling Stone ranks the top 500 alkbums of all time.

 

The Beatles have #1 and 4 albums in the top 10 and 5 albums in the top 15.

 

Just saying.

 

               

WOW, cw, calling ME out as musically impaired??????

FOR SHAME!!!!!

 

Just for the sake of clarity, let me reiterate what I said earlier about the Beatles:

"With all due respect, and I DO respect their accomplishments, I don't care if I ever hear the Beatles again."

 

Just saying...

 

And for further point of my "musical impairment", let me list the following items from my Collection Of Crap:

 

Love Me Do 7" single on VeeJay Records

Introducing the Beatles LP ( since disappeared )

Rock and Roll Music double vinyl lp ( since disappeared )

Beatles 1962-1966 double vinyl LP

Beatles 1967-1970 double vinyl LP

( bought both again on CD for the Mrs. )

Yesterday....and Today LP ( which contains my favorite Beatles song, And Your Bird Can Sing )

Let It Be LP ( since disappeared )

Abbey Road CD

Magical Mystery Tour CD

 

Just because I don't want to hear them again does NOT mean I never wanted to hear them at all...and YES, that's a lot of albums I don't listen to anymore - with the exception of And Your Bird Can Sing.

An old person made that list.

The point of a greatest rock albums “of all time” list is to pick the singular watershed/innovative/revolutionary/influential recordings throughout rock history, not to pander to people who think ‘good music’ has only been around for the last 5 years. I listen to a lot of new stuff, a lot of old stuff, and a lot of non rock, so I certainly appreciate the fact that there is good new music out there. With the perspective of a few more years, some of this will certainly crack future greatest lists.

 

That said, just looking at the first 15 albums on the list, you can see the watershed/innovative/revolutionary/influential… elements that make all the choices appropriate (sure, I’d argue many of the choices and positions, at would anyone).
