Last week I listed VH1's Top Ten albums of all time (off of their Top 100 list from a year or two ago).
Here is the second ten:
11. ``The Beatles'' (1968)
12. The Rolling Stones, ``Exile on Main Street'' (1972)
13. The Who, ``Who's Next'' (1971)
14. Joni Mitchell, ``Blue'' (1971)
15. U2, ``The Joshua Tree'' (1987)
16. Fleetwood Mac, ``Rumours'' (1977)
17. Sex Pistols, ``Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols'' (1977)
18. Prince & the Revolution, ``Purple Rain'' (1984)
19. The Velvet Underground, ``Velvet Underground & Nico'' (1967)
20. Public Enemy, ``It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back'' (1988)
We start to see some of JXM's list here. I think Rumours has not worn so well over time so I would put it much lower, though there is some good stuff on it....could just be the overexposure, and it's hard to penalize a group for having stuff that people want to listen to.
Although I have heard most of these at one time or another, except Public Enemy, I only have four in the home collection: The White Album, Joshua Tree, Rumours, and Purple Rain.
Any other comments? |
