There's a lot on that list that I agree with but JEBUS FRECKIN CHRIST...

No mention of Steely Dan's Aja?

Or Dark Side of the Moon?



Puting Kanye Fucking West on the list?


Where the fuck is Wilco?


Does somebody have the address of this twit so I can go kick him in the internuts?

The thing I also noticed that almost all the albums in the 2000's are compilations of older artists....I never count compilations on lists like these....to me an album is all original work, not greatest hits...

[conejito]

We researched and listened and agonized until we had a list of the greatest and most influential records ever - and then everyone complained because there was no Pink Floyd on it. And that's exactly how it should be.

Well, ya know... Pink Floyd weren't very influencial, and they never really sold any records. And they never put a cohesive album together. So, yeah, I can see why it makes sense to exclude them from the list.

I mean, really. Eminem kicks Pink Floyd's ass!













... and pigs can fly.

Well, not quite ALL, but damn close. They DO manage to get PJ Harvey's Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, which really does belong on any such list, but other than that their "2000's" list is a fucking joke. They have a couple of hip hop albums, but they all suck, and Kanye West? Give me a fucking break! Also, did anyone else notice that they have Elvis (via compalations) in the 90's and 2000's, but NOT in the 50's? WTF! And no Elvis Costello?

As for Pink Floyd, I'm not a fan, but even I know you can't have any kind of list like that without Pink Floyd.

But hey, fuck the classic and influential original albums, we've got 9 compilations (most of which are out-of-print) to tell people about!


Gabriel

[Scratchy Potts]

Any greatest Album list that contains a Band
like Oasis..:Uh oh: .......as got to be a fuckin Joke!!!
60`s 70`s Tribute band at best

[Calvin]

Beastie Boys make the list, but no Police? :Mad:

Lists like these are designed to create controversy, stir up debate. I'm not going to debate. The list rots. Seriously, the 2000s are a complete JOKE. COMPILATIONS?!?!?!?!? :Thumbdown: :Thumbdown: :Thumbdown: :Thumbdown: :Thumbdown:

Once every blue moon, or so, some carbuncle puts together one of these lists that are egregiously omissive, apropos of pretty much nada and have the distinct scent of bias dripping off of them. If this was in Rolling Stone or some other fashion catalogue, it'd be of no import. Clownshow rags like that NEED this sort of twaddle to pretend they're something more than a pack of ads for the pierced and tattoed shopping mall set.

For Time magazine, this is unforgivable.

Smatter, guys? All the really good writers get killed in a bus crash in Guatemala?

[drumhogg]

Face it they Torked the whole list .... Even including hip hop where's the Run Dmc? No Pearl Jam (You'd Have to put Ten on there ) No Police, and the only Zep album is Zoso ( I'd personally put LZ3 or at least Physical Graffiti in front of Zoso......Please The writer needs to get a life and start listening to real fuckin tunes!




Oh and what's with the preface on Pink Floyd ..... How can you not like Pink Floyd .... Blasphemous

There is a RUN DMC record on the list... Raising Hell from 1984.

Anyway. Where's Elvis Costello?

[drumhogg]

My Bad .... Brain is moving faster than my eyes this A.M. .......anywho the list is still bunk

[Buzzgrowl]

What? No Johnny Hallyday!? No "Les Rocks Les Plus Terribles" !?

What about Kraftwerk? What about Iggy and the Stooges? B52s? King Crimson?

[Thud]

That list is a disgrace. I mean, most of these lists are at best subjective, if not downright biased, but what the hell is the criteria for this one? Biggest sellers? Nope. Most influential? HELL no.

Although I did get a kick out of the token Miles and Coltrane records...

phooey,
thud
