Time Top 100 Albums List
Will:
Usually on these top-100 type of lists, I manage to average having between 5 and 10 of the albums mentioned in my own personal collection. This time around, I have all of two* - Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue" and Radiohead's "OK Computer." There's a LOT of stuff on this list that I can agree was tremendously influential as far as music across the decades is concerned, but not a whole lot that really does it for me...
*I'm only counting the ones I actually own on CD, not what I've downloaded. When I'm actually paying money for music, I tend to be a LOT pickier than I am when it's just costing me hard drive space.

The inclusion of compilations (at all) but particularly in the decade they were released is pretty much the most obnoxious thing I've ever seen. The 2000's list is pretty inexusably ignorant and makes it clear that this thing was written by a bunch of baby-boomers. At least have the guts to leave the 2000's catagory with only 5 choices (I am really surprised they didn't put Yankee Hotel Foxtrot on there- its sort of perfect for this crowd.)
In general though, I'm still sort of confused regarding why people still publish "100 Greatest Albums" lists. This list is pretty much identical to just about every list out there. If you're gonna publish one of these at least do something completely insane- put the Arctic Monkees at #1. Leave out all of the Beatles Albums. Give nu-metal some representation.
Given that they were totally right to leave out Pink Floyd.
Misereatur:
You guys, like johnny said, it's Time Magazine. Do you really want a mainstream magazine to tell you what are the best 100 albums of all time? Seriously?
Will:
What criteria would we base it on though? Would it be commercial sales as a measure for success (in which case many of us would be having to do some hardcore research to determine just how many copies were sold of ____'s first, mostly obscure album) or just listing the top 100 albums that have had the biggest impact on us as individuals? I imagine that would be two ENTIRELY different lists...
Misereatur:
I guess Tommy ment the we should compile a list of the top 100 albums that have the biggest impact on us as individuals.
It would take me years to do this, really.
