I only commented on what I know:



49: Nirvana: Nevermind

I like Nirvana (in the minority on this board) but #49 of all time? Nahhh

48: The Beatles: Revolver

Thank you for not putting this in the top 10.

47: Smashing Pumpkins: Pisec Iscariot

A collection of B-Sides and EP tracks from a band who's best album should be listed at maybe #60-70 all time?

46: Pink Floyd: Animals

Underrated Pink Floyd album.

45: Jimi Hendrix: Electric Ladyland

This should be higher, its his best work.

43: Radiohead: Ok Computer

Hmmm...even I think this should be higher, and I think its wicked overrated.


40: Pearl Jam: Ten

This album blows, reheated arena rocked lumped in with the grunge phenomenon. Even Kurt Cobain said it sucked.

39: The Clash: London Calling

Great album, ought to be higher.

38: The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication

Boring stadium rock.


35: The Doors: L.A Woman

Decent Doors album....shouldnt be in the top 180.

34: Rage Against The Machine: Rage Against The Machine

I hate this band. I dont understand how someone can make their entire career bitching about establishment, yet make millions off same establishment and not seem to lose any credentials.

33: Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger

How the fuck is this here and not any Black Sabbath?


31: Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin 4

Hmm..okay. Just, okay.

30: Iron Maiden: Piece of Mind

I dont understand how people can enjoy this awful, awful band.

29: Journey: Escape

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! How are these albums getting worse?


26: Nirvana: In Utero

I like In Utero 1000% more than Nevermind. Shouldnt be close to top 40 though.

25: Pink Floyd: Dark Side of The Moon

Overrated as hell. Id say around #150-175 all-time

24: Megadeth: Coutdown To Extinction

Well, this sucks.

23: The Beatles: White Album

Great record, I wish it was always higher than Revolver.

22: The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour

Eh, theres a few losers on this album, still better than the majority of records out there though...thats not to say only 21 are better though...

20: The Beatles: Let It Be

C'mon! Let it be is SUCH a mediocre Beatles album, even compared to the earlier stuff. If the Beatles werent affiliated with it, it wouldnt even be considered by anyone, theres only 2 good songs.

19: The Who: Tommy

Tommy is the most annoying Who record.

18: Hanna Montana: Meet Miley Cyrus

This is what I agree with most on the list, Miley Cyrus above Journey, Soundgarden, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Rage Against the Machine.

17: Neil Young: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

AWESOME record, I might even put this in a top 50 if I had the ability to be that decisive with music.

16: The Doors: Morrison Hotel

This is like that generic 60's music people do the swim to. Its OK, not 16th all time.

15: Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here

"Have a Cigar" has AWFUL lyrics, and usually I find they're writing pretty dece.


12: Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced

Good, but overplayed. Ladyland is better.

11: Smashing Pumpkins: Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness

A good album, first one I ever really fell in love with, buuuuut theres far more than 10 records better.

10: Pearl Jam: Vitalogy

The only Pearl Jam album I dont hate, which puts it at about #1000 all time.

9: Led Zeppelin: Houses of The Holy

My favorite Zeppelin album should not be #9

8: Pearl Jam: VS

Vs. Sucks. Really boring.

7: The Who: Quadrophenia

Ehh, Im not a Quadro fan, early who is SOOO much better.

6: The Doors: The Doors

Good album....#6?

5: The Beatles: Abbey Road

This is the most accurate one. "abbey road", top 5. good call.


4: The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Id say #5-10 but again, no complaints.

3: The Who: Whos Next

The only post 'sell out' album by the who that I like. #3's a little high.

2: Pink Floyd: The Wall

This is god awful, boring music. I dont get how people like anything off this other than 'in the flesh' and 'numb'.

1: Radiohead: Kid A

Kid A's pretty good, but #1? Eh, Ill spare you the complaints.


Wow, I was really hyper critical, but I would be with anyone posting a top 50 album list I guess. I dont like it at all, but then, If I had posted a lit when I was 15, it would look ALOT like this. You can only comment on what you know. I would be suprised if alot of these albums were still on a top 50 if you made one 5 years from now. I guess, overall, I hate it, but all that means is that you need to branch out a little. Alot of those albums I really enjoy, I just disagreed with how high they were.
