Top 20 Albums Of All Time

At least according to one Yahoo blogger. To the guy's credit, he at least spells out his parameters for coming up with the list, something most other lists never do. Journey is nowhere to be found on this list!

"Album Staying Power Value + Sales Value + Critical Rating Value + Grammy Award Value"

Good formula. Great list. Just don't know about Stevie Wonder at #1. And 4 Led Zep albums?

And Red13JoePa will be incensed to see the lack of a single Rolling Stones album.

Actually great list.

Stevie Wonder at #1 is okay but FAITH at #20 no way that is best selling top 20 LP.

Hey NIG, is it really a good formula? I never rated my fave music by whether it sold shitloads or not,but on how good it SOUNDED alone.
Christ on that formula the fuckin spice girls will outrank Dokken , and then i will know the world has truly flipped!

That's actually a decent list of albums. I've listened to most of them, and the ones I have listened to are GREAT.

by **whirlwind** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:49 am

It's a great list but I would squeeze "Peter Frampton Live" in there somewhere. I'm no doubt alone on this but what the hey? It is what it is to me.

I'm not sure how "Physical Graffiti" beat out LZ IV.

It certainly wasnt on sales or song quality.

by **Don** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 8:16 am

Where is BOSTON? Their first Album is the one that all other corporate rock albums should be measured against.

by **StoneCold** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 9:10 am

Sucky list.

George Michael's "Faith" made it but nothing from Journey, Boston or Foreigner?

Next.

by **Andrew** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 9:53 am

Including Grammy Award Value just killed this list of all credibility. Grammy Awards are meaningless and a mere $$$ for popularity contest.

by **mistiejourney** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 10:19 am

I have six of the twenty. Not a single Zep album or Pink Floyd - never into them at all.

Don't get me wrong. I think PG is a great album but there are a few throwaway tracks. LZ IV is great from start to finish.

I actually prefer Led Zepplin 2 over the rest, go figure.

Of all the artists in all the world, a Top 20 list off all-time should not include more than 1 album per artist.

by **xflajrnylvr** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 11:34 am

A few Great albums on ther but SW #1 you gotta be kidding me and faith with nio JOurney, boston, foreigner, etc etc etc

by **Since 78** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 12:14 pm

Good list except no Journey and I agree to many LZ albums.

C'mon, Drew. We know your top 20 list would include 5 Rick Springfield albums and a dozen or so Toto discs. :lol:

cant argue much with his opinion
although boston has sold some 18 million+ and has probably outsold george michael 100 to 1 since 1990
and how do you leave out acdc, and keep 4 led zeps
other than that most of those would end up on 90 of 100 peoples lists
not mine of course

Zep 4 is a must own, if ever there was one. Straight classic from start to finish.
