Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 500 Albums

Anyone would think Rolling Stone stopped printing in the late 80s if that list is anything to go by.

And what were the first albums from the 90s to be included?
Nevermind , Thw Cronic , Slanted & Enchanted , OK Computer & Dookie ....... Yawn.



I have a feeling these 6 albums will still be thetop 6 in another 30 or 40 years time , not because they are the best but because nobody has the balls to say anything is better.

I did look for something post 2000 , but gave up looking around the 300 mark.

And lets face it even me being one of the biggest Stones fanboys on this board would laugh at the thought of there only being 210 albums in the world better than Tattoo You , hell i've probably got four times that amount just in my own collection that are better than Tattoo You ,let alone out of every album ever made
 
I'm surprised they didn't throw Fall Out Boy in there to be like, "Look, we're still hip, we listen to emos too." Because that's basically what they said when they reviewed their latest a while back and have it like a 4/5 rofl.
 
Rolling Stone ignores most of the truly inventive music. I don't think they have even had YES on the cover before. They are very conservative and limited in their thinking.
 
I've been a subscriber for nearly ten years.
I love the mag, but feel the list is a little heavy on the classic stuff. It's where my tastes fall too, (I'm an lp collector) but there must be some amazing newer stuff I haven't heard.
