A weird thought has struck me doing this list - if I'd been given all of these in a stack of albums at the age of twelve, what would my list look like now? It would have to be better, wouldn't it?

p.s. I'll edit this post later when I got the real list

ewww..

but other than that great list. Pretty straight forward, but then they are classics for a reason.

That list looks familiar

Damn it. I didn't think it was an exact lift. I thought he at least edited it to fit his tastes. Go do it again Orwell_Huxley

Sorry, I couldn't hold to post that, I am really working on my own list, it is almost done, and it looks nothing like that one.

I'm almost sure that some will prefer that Rolling Stone list than my own list
