As far as lists go, that one has quite a lot of good cds. Accurate, no, but it's better than a lot of the lists that magazines and tv shows and websites and such compile.

 

i dont think ANYONE could make an accurate list.. but there are some badass albums on there..

the problem is people usually vote on these things, and as we all know, people often have really shitty taste in music.

 

case in point: there's a moby album on that list

i always liked blur..

 

also, how did stankonia make it higher on the list than aquemeni..

 

aquemeni = best outkast, IMO..

 

.. just a list.. but for once i agree with the #1

 

that's what i'm sayin'. pretty good list though. a lot of those albums brings me back to h.s.

[/b]

 

 

exactly man, aquemeni was their fuckin illest album, with stankonia by the worst by far.

 

BUT, NWA and PE made top 10. damn, surprise surprise

 

*edit: and Jay-Z is up there, but it's not fuckin Reasonable Doubt, it's the blueprint (which was fuckin garbage).

From Something Awful: The Greatest Albums Ever Suck

  • You know, lists of the best rock and roll records of all time really piss me off. When I look at them, all I see is hype, overrating, low standards and bad taste. Whenever these lists come out, they always have the same sickening mixture of tired classic rock mainstays, “bold” modern choices, obscure underground records, and canonized trashy-pop records. Maybe these lists wouldn’t be such a goddamn waste of time if there were more records that deserved recognition; I love rock and roll more than life itself, of course, but I don’t think there’s ever been a single good rock and roll band or album. There may have been a few good songs, but I can’t think of them offhand. It’s just a good concept that’s never been executed properly.

a bit on the Stone Roses:

  • Can you believe this topped NME’s best-albums-ever list in 2003? This sort of thing is supposed to get voted into the best-ever list two years after it comes out as a sort of editorial coup to let the readers know that this ain’t your daddy’s NME. “That’s right,” says the hot young editor-in-chief, “I run this show now and I’m a hip and relevant guy and I’ll choose the music of MY paisley-wearing ecstasy-addled youth!” It’s not supposed to be hanging around ten years later when they update the list. The same editor must still be skulking about at the NME, trying to relive his glory days, so we get some irrelevant hipster asshole journalist dork’s favorite record at the top of the list. It’s a jangly guitar-pop dud with a tone-deaf singer, and its only lasting relevance is that it opened the door for Oasis. And for that, the Stone Roses should only drop dead. After their debut album, they spent five years making one of the worst follow-ups of all time (the guitarist took a lot of cocaine and decided he was Jimmy Page) and then broke up and deteriorated into a blister-raising miasma of terrible solo careers. The singer, the chimp-faced Ian Brown, decided that electronic reggae was the wave of the future, and the guitarist, John Squire, made a concept album based on his favorite paintings. Dickhead. Also, NME gave this record a 7/10 when it came out, and even then they were overshooting.

 

 

 

and can I just say HOLY SHIT @ #72

A lot of good stuff, glad to see Jeff Buckley made it on there with Grace. Some confusing stuff too, the Chemical Brothers? Didn't they have one hit song and after that got played out they did too? The Smiths at 4?? A lot of good rap too, and I definitely think Misfits should be on there somewhere.

My computer teachers band (Ode Band) made the number 42 or 46 spot, i forget, In the Chicago Tribune, for bands of the year, and thats compared to major label bands, not just local, they were the only one without a record label, I think it's cool even though he gave me a D.
