Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and Rock Band v2.0

[Bront20]

Covers should not count.

I'd rather they were noted as covers but counted.

Rumored songs or stuff not released yet (Like Dookie) shouldn't count though.

[Rimbaud]

Now, you seem a nice enough fellow and I don't need to defend the list (it's strong enough on its own) and I haven't heard all of The Score, but Mezzanine is a B R I L L I A N T personal favorite of mine, so I can't lay down for that one, buddy!

I'm not familiar with their albums, but I've heard enough Massive Attack tunes to know that they really are brilliant. I'd love to have them in the game.

[Skode]

Nor is Boston's Self title? FAIL!

Yeah but i think for the best part the majority of those albums are known worldwide where as outside maybe a song or two no one really knows Boston or Rush this neck of the woods. There is some daft and baffling albums in there instead of Boston and Rush efforts none the less - Liz Phair Devo

I actually laughed when i realised Definately Maybe and Jagged Little Pill were not on the list but what can you do... Its the Rolling Stone mag, you can never expect much from them

Jagged Little Pill is on the list. #327.

It's a cross-genre list, so it's going to have some non-rock stuff in it. It's also an opinion, so it's not going to match everyone's tastes.

The lack of Boston is unforgivable though.

Thank you for posting this list. Good job

The covers are now noted as such. Good call. Also, I was not aware that Dookie is unconfirmed, so that's changed too until further notice.

If you like what you've heard, dive headfirst into their albums. Rolling Stone's list is correct in that Blue Lines and Mezzanine are at the zenith of their work, and that Blue Lines is the best. It's not as heavy or abstract as Mezzanine, which makes it more "fun," if you will. Both are fascinating from beginning to end.

[Sayburr]

Really like the new format. Can't wait to see it fill up!

[logicalnoise]

lack of daft punk is insane.

Stop complaining about the list, I don't agree either but you can't expect it to be like your own personal list. Just appriciate the work the OP did.


Unreleated, I'd love to see more tunes from "This Year's Model" released... They already licensed too, why not more?

[recharge138]

Dont know how many people will agree with me on this but i think nevermind is one of the most overrated albums ever.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion of the album, but you can't deny its influence and impact on the music industry. One of the biggest albums ever. More than deserves a spot on the list for that reason alone.
