The New Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums List • Page 20

Oh also this one might be controversial idk but no Lana Del Rey is surprising to me.

 

she’s on there near the bottom

 

Oh wow I totally missed that, glad she made it!

 

Sufjans the only one of these that should’ve been anywhere near this list tbh

 

Is Animal Collective on there? I would’ve put money on that being the representative for 00-10s 4rk core

 

anco is too niche mpp notwithstanding

 

Although idk if burial made it it’s hard to argue against stuff like Sufjan and bon iver (did bon iver make it? Don’t think so right)

 

Surprised Dookie isn't there. And looking at the best-selling albums of all time, no Shania Come On Over feels like an omission if they're playing the influential card for some of these given it set the blueprint for Taylor.

 

Controversial but I feel like the black parade could’ve had a late spot in the 80’s or 90’s tier

 

I could get behind this.

 

someone make a list of all the rock n roll hall of fame inductees that didn’t make the list just for fun

 

Yeah, that's right, no Bon Iver.

There is one album on this entire list that you could call "country." One. Not that I was expecting more, but it's a little bit wild considering how much country has broken into the mainstream in the past two years.

 

*guy who thinks these lists should be a reflection of his own personal taste voice* No tim hecker? oneohtrix point never? ambient drone doesn’t exist? no vapor wave? no Jerome lol and Samo sound boy? No the receiving end of sirens or circa survive? wild list

 

Read someone say the new Olivia Rodrigo album deserved to be on there lol

 

I’ve been seeing so many unironic takes like this on twitter and some of the albums these people have been saying are hilarious

 

unbelievable when you think about it

 

No Blink-182!?!?!?!?!?

/s

 

Dude Ranch or Enema should be on there more than fuckin Amy Winehouse

I legitimately thought people were kidding about Kacey musgraves lmfao. Also sorry but flower boy shouldn’t be on there I love Tyler but nah. Wolf if anything but even then, pushing it. My biggest agreement with a controversial pick is take care, fuck drake but that albums absolutely belongs here imo

 

Also confessions is a bad album lol it had good hits but the rest is nothing. Like there are a couple flat out bad albums on this list

 

I am in the process of listing out the ???? albums on the list for me hold on

 

When we thought this was one album per artist I was so excited that Beyoncé’s s/t was picked. Her best record and we’re not pretending it’s one of the tip top albums ever. Sure jumped the gun there

 

What are we doing here???
