There's been a lot of discussion about The Rolling Stones' Top 500 Albums of All Time list, especially following industry pressure to diversify the artists and genres included. Some argue that this shift has gone too far, favoring the accuracy of the original lists. It seems like a no-win situation for them.
I think these types of lists should be more subjective. When you try to take into account things like cultural significance or technical complexity (unless that is what you enjoy listening for), you end up making a compromised list that doesn't reflect what you actually like. You two should do a top 25 list or top 100 list, but just your personal favorite 25/100 albums. No need to stick "Rumors" or "Blue" on there if you don't want. If people like what you are into generally, they might find a few over looked gems on your lists. It would beat hearing how "Velvet Underground & Nico" has to be on the list because it inspired so many bands. (BTW, I really like that album, but not because it is culturally significant)
" Pet Sounds " is only up there because it was Kurt Loders favourite record. then everyone jumped on the bandwagon- praising it. In my opinion " Exile On Main Street " is a drug fueled masterpiece. Deserves a high spot.
I listened to all 500 albums on the 2012 list as part of a challenge between my brother and I. I never considered it a definitive list of anything, but I did use it as a way to discover great albums and artists I may have never listened to before. I'm looking forward to doing an updated challenge to listen to the new entries!
These type of lists make for an interesting read and discussion point only. I find it hard to compare different genres of music and then compile “the greatest of them all” list.
This list is Blasphemy.. 1) MJ Thriller 2) Santana Abraxas 3) Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced 4) Fleetwood Mac Rumours 5) Pink Floyd Dark Side 6) GNR Appetite 7) Nirvana Nevermind 8) Metallica 9) Beatles Let It Be 10) Deep Purple Machine Head
Bob Dylan / Blood on the tracks is definitely deserves to be in the top 10 / a all-around complete Dyaln album. Goats Head soup better then Exile??....disagree with you on this one also. 😉🙃
I love both Guns and Roses and Radiohead, but hearing y’all say that Pablo & The Bends are Radiohead’s best album is both unsurprising and slightly disappointing lol 😂
@@TheVinylDen it’s a classic voodoo is definitely top 10 maybe not to you but it still has everything like a hit “untitled” but the grooves in here are the most soulful, deep poetic songs I’ve ever heard “the line, The Root, Feel Like Making Love, Devils Pie send it on Spanish joint, Greatdayndamornin litterally this album brought the soul movement back in the world

“What’s a better album, Abbey Road…or Let it Be?” That’s one debate I never thought I’d hear. 😂
Lol I was gonna say. I thought his was joking at first
The Rolling Stone lists have been a joke for a long time. Sometimes I wonder if they are paid by labels to put certain albums higher than others.
You bring up a good point that there possibly can be other influences that might dictate the placement of certain albums.

I wonder the impact of Rolling Stone magazine to music fans. Actually is anybody still reading magazine today 😅

14 minute video, 13 minutes of Ian shrugging!😭
😂
Rolling Stone has no credibility.

Pet sounds was a classic 😮😮😮
This list is Blasphemy..
1) MJ Thriller
2) Santana Abraxas
3) Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced
4) Fleetwood Mac Rumours
5) Pink Floyd Dark Side
6) GNR Appetite
7) Nirvana Nevermind
8) Metallica
9) Beatles Let It Be
10) Deep Purple Machine Head
Lauren Hill #10. What a joke!
It’s a good album, but top 10 of all time? Definitely not.
Ian seems grumpy today 🙂
He was not a fan of that top 10 😂
would like to see a vinyl den personal list of 500
It would be very difficult for me to come up with a top 25 let alone 500. 😂
@@TheVinylDen make it happen i belive in you

That top 10 is freakin hilarious!!!
I was more than a little surprised by some of their picks!
Hell, even “Time out of mind” is better than Blood on the tracks in my opinion. The Bends has always been my favorite Radiohead album.
LET IT BE??????!!! you lost me there...
Let It Be better than Abbey Road? Just say "NO!" to drugs!! Seek help!!
Thumbs down for not knowing who D’Angelo is.
At least one of us knows who D’Angelo is (it’s not Ian’s type of music). I was just surprised to see Voodoo so high up the list.
