Recently I picked up Rolling Stone's The Greatest Albums Of All Time. I was curious as to what would be in it and to pick 500 albums! THAT would be an accomplishment even for me! But I don't know what to make of this list, I don't know if it's just Rock albums or something else? I don't know, because the back cover of the magazine says, "Rock's Greatest Albums Come Alive". So, is this just Rock albums or all music? I don't know, but we'll find out together. If anyone has looked at this magazine feel free to comment. Because I think I will break this up in parts.
Now, first 500 albums is a lot of albums and to list them from 1 to 500, is a feat in itself! Plus the fact I could guess that maybe the first 100 or 150 would be the coolest albums then after that I think one would be hard pressed to come up with another 350 of equally cool albums. Maybe it's me. How 'bout you, could anyone out there come up with 500 COOL albums?!?!? Hmmmmm.
I glanced at this list and it was just a casual glance and from that couple of quick looks, I could see right away that some of the albums near the top could be ranked lower and visa-versa.
So, what should I do start at number 500 and work to number one or start at number one and go to 500? That's the question. So, for now, I'll leave it at that and start the list tomorrow. After I give it some thought and take a look at the albums they have listed here and decide from that.
Anyway, cheers for now, see ya tomorrow and may you always find the hidden track!
