what makes an album "the best"? i don't understand how stuff can get ranked like this. i mean, i could make up my own rankings of my favorite music, but would that make it the best? it would be the best to me. i'm sure there's a lot of good music in that list there, but i think the whole premise of the idea of ranking music is stupid.
i agree. i usually hate these list things. I've heard VERY little of what was on that 500 best albums list. but in terms of creativity, timing, and music prior to those releases...who knows. i wasn't around. i'm sure it was amazing and magical. but i'll certainly stick to my tastes and preferences and not let any person or magazine dictate to me exactly what is good, essential, important, ispirational, or creative.
