500 Greatest Albums of all Times

Yawn......

This is an outrage! :-)

OF course Rolling Stone is biased towards a particular genre and demographic, ie rock music and baby boomers. What else would one expect?

Maybe they should just do the 500 greatest ROCK albums of all time. That's probably the extent of which they are qualified to make any sort of judgement.

Or one can say that at least they attempt to bring other genres into their rock/boomer centric world. That's pretty noble of them I would say. OR more likely, necessary to remain relevant in any shape or form still these days. :-)

I would not read anything more into it than that though. It is what it is.

Roxy Music's Avalon gets kicked to the curb while Kanye West adds 2.

Rolling Stone and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are also heavily biased towards mainstream music forms that derive from or resemble American roots music forms, like the blues primarily.

Even "art" rock bands like Yes, Genesis, The Moody Blues, Porcupine Tree Roxy Music and others that strive to break traditional music forms regularly largely get left by the wayside.

It is what it is. No hard feelings.

The words 'Mainstream', 'Greatest', 'Best of', 'Bestseller' often make me puke.
