Like it

It sucks. But all "top 100" lists suck of course.

The good news however is that Neil Young gets mentioned a few times.

It sucks.

What's Going On? is only 25?
WTF?

First Jimi Hendrix album #44?

No Miles Davis? Maggot Brain?

Where the hell is Stevie Wonder's Innervisions?

This list sucks HARD.

And Muse & arctic monkeys in there?

It's arguably that Muse deserve to be in there. They could easily not be, but they are worthy.

-AC

There will never be a list like this that everyone agrees with but Id say this one is pretty good.

the one by Rolling stone was acceptable.
But this one just ain't

Get over it, it's all about opinions. All lists like these will be stupid to at least one person.

That wasn't predictable.

Depends. It is quite predictable in a way.

Where is the Eagles Hotel California? Michael Jackson's Thriller? Billy Joel's The Stranger? Jimi Hendrix? Prince's Purple Rain?

Editors being placed higher than the White Stripes? What on earth?

I think Rolling Stones' list was better than this.

Psssh. But, of course. 😄

I like Editors, but in a top 100 of all time list...

Pretty decent list. No room for Weezer's "Blue" album though? Tsk.

No ICP.🙁 Seriously, the fact that they don't even have Thriller(best selling album in history) makes this list suck.

30. Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

Really???

OK Computer for greatest album of all time??? That is almost offensive. There a lot of key albums missing off here that are groundbreaking and worthy of respect whether they are well-liked or not. Purple Rain and Thriller were immediately noticeable absentees. Although most list have a bias to the past I find that this list is far too heavy balanced to more modern music as well.

Then I'm feeling that when they did choose good bands they didn't choose the band's strongest album in many cases. Ex. Superunknown < Badmotorfinger and Purple Rain > Sign 'O' Times.

It's up there imo.
