Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums of All Time - 12-27-03

The list was utterly predictable. As always, mainstream music magazines fall short with their lists and give us the same old shit.. year after year.. after year... Here are the top 25.

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles
2. Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys

3. Revolver, The Beatles

4. Highway 61 Revisited, Bob Dylan

5. Rubber Soul, The Beatles

6. What's Going On, Marvin Gaye

7. Exile on Main Street, The Rolling Stones

8. London Calling, The Clash

9. Blonde on Blonde, Bob Dylan

10. The Beatles ("The White Album"), The Beatles

11. The Sun Sessions, Elvis Presley

12. Kind of Blue, Miles Davis

13. Velvet Underground and Nico, The Velvet Underground

14. Abbey Road, The Beatles

15. Are You Experienced?, The Jimi Hendrix Experience

16. Blood on the Tracks, Bob Dylan

17. Nevermind, Nirvana

18. Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen

19. Astral Weeks, Van Morrison

20. Thriller, Michael Jackson

21. The Great Twenty-Eight, Chuck Berry

22. Plastic Ono Band, John Lennon

23. Innervisions, Stevie Wonder

24. Live at the Apollo (196, James Brown

25. Rumours, Fleetwood Mac


As usual, The Beatles and Elvis are in the top margin. Hip Hop music barely grazes the top 50. I think The Clash was thrown in there just to cater to us.

London Calling made it into the top 10? Holy shit, what are these people smoking? I like the album, but #8 of all time? Fuck me running backwards up a hill...

No Floyd in the top 25, they've got Miles Davis, but no Charlie Parker. Queen was voted best rock and roll band of all time, but they don't have one album on there. Ridiculous.

And I am fucking sick of Nevermind being the most overrated album ever made by anyone anywhere. God if I'd have known that Cobain's death would make his shit so fucking important, I wouldn't have paid Courtney all that crackrock to kill him.

Pfeh. She didn't kill him. I saw her breaking down and crying when she read his suicide note publicly at the memorial. I've also seen her in movies. The woman can't act.
