Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - Definitive 200 albums

As much as I hate Michael Jackson, I won't argue the merits of Thriller or Off the Wall. I don't remember if Bad is on the list...

Dangerous? That's worse than Kid Rock, Creed or Matchbox 20 making the list...

 

You can definitely make an argument for Thriller being on the list.

But 3rd? That's pretty thin ice.

 

No Buffett? Damn those Cleveland bastards and their grass-skirt-less lives!

 

Clearly, they see themselves as a popular music Hall of Fame. No other explanation for Morrissette, Norah Jone, Shania Twain having placement, much less being so high. They obviously are tryng to throw in a modern album or two, even if it's a stretch.

They remain a joke based on having taken so long to induct Black Sabbath. And the fact that Rush and Steely Dan are not in.

Physical Graffiti is a top-15 album. The best and most diverse work by the best band.

Can't really argue with the top-10, other than Sgt. Pepper. Revolver is their best work, the bridge between the love song era and the drug era. Would move Appetite for Destruction to where Pearl Jam's Ten is, and move that one spot down.

Def Leppard's Pyromania belongs in Hysteria's spot.

Metallica's Black album, I understand the love. But as far as metal goes, Master of Puppets was their seminal work. And I would still put Black Sabbath's Paranoid above both of them, for history.

No argument on the highest-placed Who or Doors albums.

The TItanic soundtrack's placement on the list at all was guffaw-inducing.

 

I get very angry when REM gets disrespected. What a consistently amazing band.

 

Amen.

"Aja" at No. 191 is outrageously low.

Also cannot see how Seger's "Night Moves" checks in at No. 82 and "Stranger In Town," with one of the best album sides in history, does not make the list.

 

Fenian must have influenced the voting on Segar.

 

I KNEW this was political...

 

The problem is they put the wrong Shakira album on here. Her MTV Unplugged live set CD is outstanding. Of course, you have to understand spanish to really appreciate it, but she writes great stuff and is a great performer, though her Americanized stuff is a notch below what's she's done in the Latin market.

Of course, I care not for Steely Dan.

And Norah Jones doesn't belong anywhere in the top 100, or 150.

And second me on the where's KISS Destroyer? And put me down as a fan of the Beatles' Rubber Soul as their best album. I put it a shade before Revolver, but Peppers is so overrated.

 

more to do with his ongoing battle of wits with chris L

 

You shut your damn mouth about Willie.
