This.

The Rolling Stones mag is invalid.

(Go listen to it and don't come back until it's over.)
Where did I say it wasn't?

I feel like these kind of lists are made by magazines (in particular Rolling Stone) just to get people to read and argue over them, but I just kinda scrolled through the list and here are a few of my thoughts about it:

-I don't think Nirvana, U2, or Bruce Springsteen should be in the top 30
-The Clash (#28) and The Who (#29) should be swapped.
-There's some I wouldn't put on there, like The Police and the Beastie Boys
-Despite whoever dislikes Aretha Franklin, she deserves to be in the top 10

And am I missing something, or is The Band supposedly amazing?

edit; by that i mean I don't understand why they're on there, sorry if I worded that weird :/

Of course I have, although I don't see how it makes any difference or not because it has nothing to do with my point.

I agree with everything you said..I'm not kissing ass I'm just saying you're 100% right
The Who conquered everything genre they touched and were also a huge influence to Punk Rock so why the hell is the Clash before them?

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I like the Clash, but as important as they were to punk rock I don't think they did anything too amazing musically. I'm not even going to begin with what I would change on the top albums list, but I just glanced at it and London Calling being in the top ten seems to overrate them there as well. I don't dislike it, but Train in Vain was probably the only 'good' song I got out of listening to that. I'm sure they meant a lot to teenagers at the time, but from my perspective their music hasn't withstood the test of time like a lot of the Who's songs and albums have.
