These lists are so unimportant. There are loads of albums by great artists from the last four decades. The importance and artistic value of each stand alone. Many groups can stand beside the Beatles and vis-a-versa. It all depends on what you want to hear. Sometimes I in the mood for The Supremes. Sometimes I'm not.

"Neil Young's "Decade" and the Allman Brothers' "Decade of Hits" belong in any list of Top 10 albums of all time, in my opinion."
I would no never go anywhere without Decade. I doubt they were considering compilations, though.

What about "Pet Sounds" by the Beach Boys?

Anybody knows DSOTM was the best album, ever. Why, I just recently played it again during the total lunar eclipse, the weekend before last.
In comparison, the Beatles wrote nothing but commercial jingles.

"The list also accommodates greatest hits collections and live recordings . . ."
BTW, The Counting Crows' "August and Everything After" should have been the top album of the 1990s.

I find anything by Zeppelin to be far superior to the Beatles, or any band except The Who and The Stones.
To: steppenwolffe
Bach, Hayden, Handel, Mozart.

While these lists are fun and bring up some interesting discussions, I have a hard time taking Rolling Stone lists seriously since they declared Joan Jett a better guitar player than Bonnie Raitt.
To: steppenwolffe
Hey, what about these guys?!

"I doubt they were considering compilations, though.

What an idiot I am.
If that's the case, Decade should definitely be a part because it's more than just a "Greatest Hits," it really sums up Neil's body of work at the time.
To: steppenwolffe
And I defy anyone to name a better rock tune than "Won't Get Fooled Again". (I know this is an LP discussion but I couldn't resist...

My mother went to visit her sister in Cuba today. She told me yesterday that they had finally gotten a CD player. Just before she left I ran to Best Buy and bought the most appropiate CD: PINK FLOYD: THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
My favorite: ASIA : ASIA

It's happening again..I can see it clearly now...Rush will not even make the TOP 500 and I will get super mid-evil on their ass.

"Layla" by Derek & The Dominos.
Everyone else competes for second place.
Eric Clapton and Duane Allman on the same track is the Eighth Wonder of the World.

THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!!
To: MarkL
"And what was on the album absolutely shocked the hell out of everyone at the time." Rumor has it that Sgt. Peppers pushed Brian Wilson over the brink of sanity, after he listened to it over and over and realized it had eclipsed his masterwork "Pet Sounds."
(Which BTW, was a damn good album as well!")

I'm not a big Beach Boys fan, but if it's got "Sloop John B" and "Don't Worry Baby" on it, I probably like it. LOL.

I like the White Album........but Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, Let it Be, Rubber Soul, and Revolver are better, imo.

The Beatles were overproduced and are still wildly overrated.
