Omar's Album Reviews of The Rolling Stones' Top 500 Albums (and some other albums too)

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Unreal.

I just don't see how that's possible. With PG, they had some amazing albums. Without PG, some good ones and a ton of commercial success. How the fuck do they justify having Cindy Lauper in, but not a single Genesis album?

What about Phil Collins solo albums?

Nope.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

(What A) Wonderful World - Sam Cooke

Wow. Pandora went straight from that to:

What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

For those that don't know, those are not the same song.

Pandora does some weird shit.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

No Zappa either.

Bogus list... but we knew that going in.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Cyndi Lauper at #487...

Arctic Monkeys at #371.

You cannot tell me that either Zappa or Genesis don't belong in there at 487.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

No Zappa either.

Bogus list... but we knew that going in.

Agreed. Still I think it's pretty fucked up to completely omit those two.

Someone said there's no Yes on there, either.

500 fucking albums. It's egregious, I tell you!

If Aja isn't in there, then that list can just suck my dick.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

Moondance - Van Morrison

followed by

Slinky Thing - Donald Fagen

That last one has a special place in my heart. . .

Are you referring to Steely Dan or Yes??

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Zappa

I was at the Baltimore airport a couple of weeks ago and I Am The Slime played over the PA. That was surprising to me. Enjoyable, but surprising.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Are you referring to Steely Dan or Yes??

I can see where you'd be confused - I was all over the place. Someone mentioned Yes wasn't in, and then I thought of Aja by Steely Dan.

You can't read my mind, fucker?

Kinda appropriate at that dump.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

My all time favorite is Blood on the Tracks.

 

[Wazmankg]

My all time favorite is Blood on the Tracks.

IIRC that's top 20. I went through the whole list a couple of weeks ago.

edit #16

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Among my problem with that list... way too many anthologies. Example... Curtis Mayfield (an absolute favorite of mine) is on the list twice. Once for "Superfly" (#72) and once for an anthology with the Impressions (#178). That's kind of bogus to me. Mayfield's first solo album gets way too little appreciation. That is one bad ass album.

A... Bad... Ass... Album...

Yeah, that's almost like cheating. I think it's just their way of including all time greats who were primarily singles artists. It's still cheating, though... why not Hot Rocks or the Beatles red & blue albums if they're going to include them.

I will just refer to your signature line

 

[Omar 382]

Word.

I'm listening to an absolutely muddled station I made on Pandora and Chamber of 32 Doors was on, which got me thinking about it.

If Omar is right, it's fucking crazy that not a single Genesis album makes the top 500. Outkast is in there, for fuck's sake.

I agree that Genesis not making it sucks, but Outkast is t'bomb. Tell him, @broncosmitty

Slink likes to shake, shake, shake it as much as the next guy.


Which album made the list? ATLiens? Aquemini?
