Whilst I don't altogether agree with their top 500 (not that I could ever come up with a top 500 myself!), I found myself counting how many of the list I had....and it racked up like this:

0-100: 31
101-200: 26
201-300: 14
301-400: 19
401-500: 17

Grand total of: 107 - lots more there that I know I ought to have, if only I had a bottomless bank account and time enought to listen to them all!

Just stumbled across the list on the web, sunday morning surfing accident:

Amazing then not so

I found that I had 27 of their top 100 and discovered many of those I didnt have were on my wish list. Then its not so surprising with all those Beatles Albums and Bob Dylan Albums. Being of the same generation as Michael Jagger. A good top 100 and interesting site thank you for this posting
 
Hi,

From the top 100 albums,

I have 80 of those albums. I look at the rest of the list when I have time.

159 out of the 500. I found the list somewhat annoying as it included so many compilations and often for bands where I have all the original releases but not the exact collection they named.

Tony.

PS No Can, Faust, Neu! Düül? What kind of poxy list is that?
PPS I also have No 100.
 
Ca. 85, helped by having lots of Led Zep, Prince, VU, Miles Davis and Marvin Gaye.

Of course I have No. 100.

The list is pretty atrocious. I mean Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (which I happen to have) in a list of top albums of all time? This list is way US- and boomer/gen X heavy. I can name about 100 albums easily that I would rate higher than many that made the list.

What is so great about Pet Sounds?

Think it is or can be considered the first concept album and it prompted McCartney to create Stg. Pepper´s. Rich, inventive melodies, outstanding vocal harmonies and top production inspired numberous bands to this very day.

Q mag listed the 100 greatest albums ever in their previous issue of wich 70-80 percent was of British origin.

Perhaps the Dutch or Germans should take on an unbiased and definite listing. :MILD:

As Michael Flanders rendered the first line* of your national anthem, German, German, overalls!

*In that verse that you don't sing!
 
75 out of the top 100.

a few gaps I need to fill 'trout mask replica' probably being one I should buy.. not sure if I'll like it, but only 1 way to find out..

You will hate it the first time you play it, be mildly bemused by it the sixth time, and love it by the fifteenth. By the twentieth play it will be in your top 50 albums of all time list. I'm going to play it right now.

Tony.
 
Hi

I have 55 of the 101 to 200 list & 60 of the 201 to 300 list.

hi,

53 from the 301 to 400 list and 42 from the 401 to 500 list.

This gives a total of 290.

But I do own songs from just about all the artists featured.

I agree there are many compilations of which I have similar versions. Lists like this will never produce agreement. This is very much US based list.

What is a great album? Is it one that sells shed loads? Is it one that influences many? Is it one that was ahead of it's time? Is it one that defined the generations? Or is it one you like playing? Food for thought.

I too have No. 100 in the list.
 
0-100 31
101-200 16
201-300 17
301-400 19
401-500 19

I've probably heard a good 150 or so others as well. Some great stuff in that list.
 
My attention span went before the end of the 100 - 200 list. I was less than 30 at that point but then it's only pop. I clicked the link only because I was curious that Mick and the boys had the patience to sit and put a list together of 500. Is it possible for spelling lessons to be made available for those that can't distinguish between a well known and aged pop group and a general music magazine, thus misleading old farts like me unecessarily.
