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.

Agree the 'choice' of many is oodd, though all belong in the top 2,000...
Anyway, of the top 500 i own about 80% of them, either in LP or CD format. Purely by coincidnce.
One of my striking missing titles is PET Sounds by the Beach Boys.. I just never owned it. maybe i need to go buy a copy just for the Hell of it.
Otherwise i own the other top nine..
Only 80% of the top 500 is not hard when I own 6,000 Lps and another 3,000 CDs.
So out of my 9,000 albums, having 80% is sorta just average, hey?

This is an outrage! :-)

OF course Rolling Stone is biased towards a particular genre and demographic, ie rock music and baby boomers. What else would one expect?

Maybe they should just do the 500 greatest ROCK albums of all time. That's probably the extent of which they are qualified to make any sort of judgement.

Or one can say that at least they attempt to bring other genres into their rock/boomer centric world. That's pretty noble of them I would say. OR more likely, necessary to remain relevant in any shape or form still these days. :-)

I would not read anything more into it than that though. It is what it is.
