Uh Eminem too.

Well I was exaggerating a little.

But seriously, I'm not even close to a big hip-hop fan but I think they overlooked quite a lot with that list.

If it can't get any exposure in a magazine dedicated to music it may well be dead.

I still don't understand what you're saying. Do you mean independent music as in music having nothing to do with major labels? Because you're talking about Rolling Stone, and of course they will have basically nothing like that. The magazine is just out to make money. I could think of several magazines off the top of my head that I think are written more out of love for music than to make a profit that definitely focus on independent artists. And I'm not talking about Pitchfork music.

I'll give an example of what i'm saying..

Say you were going to do a list of the greatest 80s albums.
Even the most mainstream of magazines would include genuine independent labels from those times like Rough Trade, SST, 4AD, Beggers Banquest, Mute...and so on and so on.
Even the lists back then in mainstream magazines had albums put out by these labels on them.
How do I know this? Because that's how I found out about these labels and bands.
If you were to do a 90s list you could pretty much say the same thing.

But now it's not the case, the fact is the big 4 record companies dominate everything and little else has any chance of getting through, even with the internet at their disposal.

And that list is living proof of that.

There's a lot of albums on there I like but not many that would be on my list, but then again, it is Rolling Stone. An interesting list would be just one album per band.

Shame these List's always have to include rap albums when most are ****. Rolling Stones is a typical magazine who will put there typical artist's in the top 100.

Gosh you have a real grudge against hip-hop don't you?

Not as bad as I was expecting but not much cop either.

Sorry, but your post has too many stupid grammar mistakes. And there are lots of people who enjoy rap music and were probably thrilled that Kanye was on the list.

Not to mention plenty of people who enjoy rap music and are outraged that Kanye was on the list. Honestly, only one of his albums works for me.
