Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums of all time
TraceOneInfinite:
Rolling Stones list is an example of racial prejudice. Notice there is no 2pac, Fugee's, Rakim, Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Nas, or rap artist at the top of this list. They threw in a few token R@B artists, but let's be real, everyone knows African American's make better music than white people, African's brought the music with them over from the slave ships. There are very few select white artists that can compete at their level, Rolling Stone's list should reflect this fact.

I think "What's Going On" or "White Album" could be my personal no. 1
and look, it is absolutely 100% impossible to make everybody happy with such a list. Many of you have to take in account that you're mainly hiphop heads, who are into this music style waaay deeper than most of the voters...of course any Eminem album > Illmatic is complete bullshit, but I think that people who are into another genre alot might think the same about theirs...this is a reflection of pop music and the taste a few voters have in pop music and nobody knows all great albums there are, so it is logical that most styles are represented merely by their most popular and well-respected albums in mainstream. The hiphop heads there might have been among the voters prolly didn't put Eminem Show above Illmatic, but those who just listened to hiphop like i listen to jazz eg, which is pretty rarely and never really getting into it alot, prolly don't know Illmatic. There are hundreds of hiphop albums better than TES those people just never heard (of)...of course there's no Season Of Da Siccness and no The Infamous on there, que sorpresa

looking at this list makes me think the US one is comparatively well-balanced. Wanna know where "Thriller" is in the top 500? No. 289. Yup. Illmatic? Nowhere...best hiphop album is "Paul's Boutique" (71.), the others are "3 Feet High & Rising" (94.), "Raising Hell" (174.), "Licensed To Ill" (182.), "Yo! Bum Rush The Show" (328.), "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" (345.), "The Marshall Mathers LP" (348.), "The Chronic" (365.), "Fear Of A Black Planet" (466.) & "Things Fall Apart" (476.). The list shows very clearly that most of the jury love punk and rock in general; "Nevermind" 7th best album in music history, "Never Mind The Bollocks" 6th? And then James Brown comes 443. with "In The Jungle Groove" (his only work that made the list), beaten by various insignificant german punk albums? Bob Marley's "Exodus" is 104th and best reggae album, only The Specials' self-titled ska album made the top 100 at 69? Almost every R.E.M. album is among the 500 best? No Funkadelic or Parliament in the whole top 500? What's Going On only 4oth? I could go on for a long time.......

No point, it's all opinion. I just think MJ is extremely overrated, although I do like his music a lot.
