They included 2 albums by Beyonce and 3 by Kanye West.

Outside of Ragged Glory, I probably wouldn't any of Neil's post-1985 output in there.

But leaving that out is an omission of such magnitude that it renders the list void.

i own 70 of these.


terrible list. not unexpected, though.

Freedom,
Harvest Moon
Broken Arrow
Sleeps with Angels
would definitely make my list.

Mirror Ball, Silver & Gold, Prairie Wind, & Psychedelic Pill might.

Nothing wrong with Beyonce and Kanye West on a list of 300 albums, but there are surely some bad omissions

i'd say there's something wrong when someone thinks that they have 4.6% of the best 129 LPs of the last 30 years...


and those same people think _Blacklisted_ is Neko's best record?

[tinnitus photography]

hey, this list is from three months ago.


i bet that new High On Fire record would have otherwise made it.

There's more Janet Jackson and Daft Punk than there is Kanye and Beyonce

[tinnitus photography]

in the top 129?

It looks to be the same.

Kanye West - 3
Beyonce - 2

Janet Jackson - 3
Daft Punk - 2

I don't know, I didn't spreadsheet it out like you did. I can't get my panties in a twist about what some magazine likes compared to what I like. If you want OM and Yob to be in the top 10 best albums, start your own magazine

[Duke Silver]

Spin is still around?

[Bill in CT]

Spin is still around?

Only on the Internet. It ceased print publication some time ago.

One of the best rock quotes ever came from back when Spin first started and they had a swimsuit issue. Lemmy said he doesn't like to go to the beach because he doesn't like to "get sand in me foreskin"

hey, if you are fine w/ those records being ranked so high, in the grand total of all records released in the last 30 years, have at it!

if expressing opinions, doing a simple search for the first time a term appeared on a web page, and executing simple arithmetic, then i am justly accused of pantytwisted spreadsheeting. i do find it funny that, spreadsheet or not, you did a count of Daft Punk and Ms Jackson while deriding me for doing the same.


psst - hey KG, it's not just you

I have no problem with an online magazine that I don't read having different opinions than my own

[tinnitus photography]

this is going very meta.... i was disagreeing with your opinion of their opinion.

You are disagreeing with my lack of opinion about their opinion.

[lotusamerica]

Seems like a perfectly reasonable list of SPIN type records to me if you accept the premise that SPIN is ranking albums in the genres they have been covering since the 80s.

maybe i'm wrong and this not an opinion

Nothing wrong with Beyonce and Kanye West on a list of 300 albums

I didn't say I was excited about it, just that there was nothing wrong with it. It was a comment of passivity, not support

[Tequila Cowboy]

Lists are bad for us.

I've never seen a list posted on any message board or discussion group that didn't end with folks going at each other. Yeah, they sometimes help generate healthy discussions but all too often, that isn't the case. Now, my top ten reasons why I don't like lists...

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I bought 151 of those albums. If I still own half of them it will be a miracle. Some right turkeysI bought when I was young and stupid.

No American Music Club?
