Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Albums

Odd that you have "The Doors" showing as the name of the self-titled album for The Doors, but for The Ramones self-titled, the album name is "_______"?

Only 18% for Curtis Mayfield? That's ruined my Friday.

As a recovering Rolling Stone subscriber, I feel I should state at the fore that these lists are nothing to get annoyed about. RS has had the same stubborn critical biases for 46 years, and nothing's going to change until Jann Wenner is dead. It's terrible.

CCR's entry should read 'Chronicle, Vol. 1', not Chronicles.

Yeah, I know music is all subjective and personal and crap. And that these lists are always going to be arbitrary BS and probably meant to provoke more than definitively answer anything. And I know the editors of Rolling Stone are old out-of-touch fuddy duddys. But personally I say any list of greatest albums that does not include a minimum of 2-3 of these albums, and 4-5 would be better, is an abysmal failure. Get over the Beatles already.

Dear Quizmaster, please change "Chronicles Vol. 1" to "Chronicle, Vol. 1" - not plural - for some reason it drives me crazy when an obvious mistake is not addressed! Thank you!!

Wow...Captain Beefheart but no Queen? Sigh...Rolling Stone...you suck

Kill me now. I forgot about Led Zeppelin. Also confused Dylan and Bowie as usually. One is D.B. and the other one is B.D. Others I forgot and shouldn't have (in my opinion, not yours): The Doors, Neil Young, The Ramones.

Had less than a minute left when I finally remembered who did the Joshua Tree album. *Hangs head in shame*

With all the blanks and "greatest hits" type of clues, this was basically just typing every singer and band I could remember.

Well, I came into this quiz knowing this list would be terrible (because nobody knows less about music than Rolling Stone magazine), but they still managed to disappoint me with how awful it was somehow.

After just going over this in Survey of World Music, I am thoroughly dissapointed in myself for missing Kind of Blue

Rolling Stone is a joke and will always be a joke. Their absolutely blatant bias to 60s music like The Beatles and Bob Dylan (both incredible acts) is woeful. Now, the Beatles are one of the most revolutionary bands of all time, but they have 23 SONGS IN THE TOP 500, which is really quite ridiculous. They also have this built in hatred of both Pink Floyd and Queen. They placed Bohemian Rhapsody at no 166 of all time, the only Queen song to make the top 500, placed Freddie Mercury at no 18 of best singers, and put Pink Floyd and Queen at no 51 and 52 respectively, clearly to not disturb their precious top 50. I could go on for ages about how absurdly biased they are but I really don't think I need to it is that obvious.

Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Albums are better than they sound.

Frank Ocean's album is "Blonde", not "Blond"..

Just a lot of scribbling and bibbling, bibbling and scribbling. No One can possibly put together a list of the greatest albums of all time covering 65 years. It doesn't even make sense to try. Everything from Chuck Berry to Drake. The Beatles to Beyonce.

A list of YOUR favorite albums of all time? Sure. And that's exactly what this is.

Really no Madonna, Queen, Billy Joel, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Lady Gaga? I could go on and on.

Put in Queen, didn't work. Put in King as a joke, and well...................

Kinda funny all the complaints about music bias despite the list being pretty damn eclectic. A good mix of hip hop (including r&b and rap) rock (rock n roll,punk,hard,metal,pop) as well as funk, disco, blues and country.

The only things really missing from the list would be classical, jazz and opera.

Sure there are always going to be artists that dont appear on these lists that people will question. For me the absence of Queen, Cher, the Bee Gees, The Supremes, Elton John and Tina Turner is questionable.

But then considering the Sex Pistols is on the list as opposed to a massive number of arguably better selling punk groups and Amy Winehouse who was very much a one hit wonder being there in place of the likes of Diana ross or Whitney Houston shows that the list is generally well balanced to most modern western music genres.

Isn’t Fine Line by Harry Styles added?

I saw the title of this quiz and thought "There's no way The Rolling Stones have released more than 100 albums".

Only 6% of you guys got D'Angelo and only 8% got MBV. You guys are missing out!

Not a lot of music nerds on here clearly, seeing the low percentages for Loveless and Remain in Light, both are which are extremely well known to music followers.

Love how they squeeze Miles and Trane onto this list, the two jazz artists that every cool kid knows. No Mingus, Bird, Monk, etc.? Half this list would be jazz records if they really wanted to open that door.

how is mariah carey not here at least once?

No Eagles? No Boston? Oof. Boo Rolling Stone. 0 stars. Would not recommend.

My first thought was The Rolling Stones didn't make 100 albums... oh... yeah

I know everybody has different tastes, but Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Drake, etc. put out better albums than Rush?

I'd like to know the criteria used. Rush has arguably the best musicians ever assembled.

taylor swift being in this is an abomination. "of all time" has been relegated to mean nothing

I will say the list has gotten better and they've made an effort to include more contemporary artists

I been listening to Baduizm a lot, probably one of the best RnB albums I've ever heard, pretty much every song is a banger, everyone should listen to it

My personal favorite album has probably gotta be Illmatic, but lately I've been trying to listen to more full albums and make more objective lists (take that with a grain of salt) and I'd say Songs in the Key of Life is probably the best album I've heard, What's Goin On is definitely in top 5 so I think they got that right
