The list is very 'classical', and there isn't much range here. It's very similar to a Rolling Stone list, though the three Can albums at the top spot looks a tad bizarre. But if you're compiling a list of 'great' albums in terms of sheer influence, you've included a great deal of the rock canon. Why are you making this list? a project?

Mary J. Blige - Mary & My Life should be #1 and #2

MoR, brilliant though it is, is not as powerful or as consistent as Paranoid. Anyone who says otherwise is a racist.......fact

Agreed:beer:

Paranoid has some good songs (War Pigs, Iron Man, Fairies Wear Boots), but I like the overall style on Master of Reality better. I even like the fillers on that one; Embryo goes well with Children of the Grave, and Orchid is good on its own. I mentioned Children of the Grave, and Lord of This World and Into the Void are amazing.

Racist

But seriously. Had After Forever (what I consider to be one of the band's worst ever songs) not been on the album and maybe Embryo replaced with an actual track I'd almost be able to agree with you. In my opinion, MoR feels a bit empty at times

I understand this is a school project, so is the list due to the public's reception or is it more personal? List makes sense if we're talking about the big world hoo-haa. Though I don't know why Strokes and Primal Scream are doing on there. Otherwise it's not a bad list. Just confusing...

I like those albums, that's why I put them here. If you don't like them ,then you don't have to include them in your own personal list.

That's why I asked whether it was personal or not. Don't fret.
