I personally think that The Who - Tommy is much better than "Who's Next", and ACDC - Back in Black is better than #82.

I certainly agree with the volume of Beatles at the top :D Very interesting to see that there is not much music from the 00's in it. Music ain't what it used to be.

Music now isnt anywhere near as good as music from the 80's and before imo. Although Radiohead is there with "Ok Computer", that was released in 1997. I dont remember any albums from the last 4 years that were really amazing like some from older bands.

Well, it is only customary that one of the world's most popular bands is rated first.

Secondly, I prove my point that all rap sucks.. As there isn't 1 album of rap on there.

20. Public Enemy/It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
62. NWA/Straight Outta Compton

20. Public Enemy/It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
62. NWA/Straight Outta Compton
74. The Beastie Boys/Paul's Boutique

What's up now

[GrumpySpyGuy]

I guess that's what I get for not reading all the way..

And being illiterate :(

The Beatles ownz

1. The Beatles/Revolver

I have alot Beatles songs and stuff.

True a paucity of music form the 2000s up there. It also seems true though that with time music gains more admiration. Alot of times artists arent as popular alive as dead. Look at Nirvana they didnt become hyper popular until kobain shot himself. I bet 20 years from now alot of artists like Pearl Jam (king of post-nirvana) and Greenday (king of 90s punk) will rate higher on that list. You might also see bands like the Strokes and the White Stripes.
