500 Greatest Albums of all Times

Yes, Rolling Stone Magazine is at it again with a new version of subject, that is on the newsstands now. Some think there is a bias in the list, others dismiss it as a marketing stunt. So my question is simple, and numerical, how many of these albums do you actual;y currently own, in any media form. All who answer with '500' will get to go to New York and be an unpaid intern at Rolling Stone for five years, no expenses paid.

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.
