This is great music. But to see it segregated like this does it all a great disservice. "Music that we promise won't make insecure people question their security." I guess it's more evolved than John Wayne's collection.  | |

Very happy to see Stone Roses so high up there. But the whole lists seems like they are trying very hard to be "cool". |

I think it means heterosexual male. You know every man's man.  Whatever it means I only really like 9 out of 75...Though there are some albums by groups I do like, like The Temptations, Jimmy Hendrix, and Bob Marley. I just like other albums by those artists better. But these are my favorite from THIS list...

The ones I've got are:
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On Cody Chesnutt - The Headphone Masterpiece Bob Marley - Catch A Fire Travelling Wilburies - Volume One Talking Heads (it's not actually mine tho') Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain Jimi Hendrix - Gypsys (I think I recall getting that from iTunes  )
Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life That's 8 out of 76. | |

I wish. Then I might pay attention.
Anyway, just another list from another "critic"... | |

Is there an actual list in print rather than having to go through those pictures? That damn slide show takes too long to load.
I'm assuming that the entire list is either pop/rock and that the only R&B is crossover stuff or either huge names like James Brown, Stevie Wonder, or Parliament that pop fans have heard of (which is usually stuff that radio and critics wear out over the years). I bet there's no Zapp, Barkays, Lakeside, or Cameo on the list. In that case.....NEXT!!!!! Andy is a four letter word. | |

Eclectic group of albums at the very least.
I've probably heard 70-75% of them. Very impressed by the inclusion of... 
...Taj Mahal's Giant Step (Back in the day...  ) Oooh baby, honey tell daddy why your bacon fat?

I have 18 of those, and I've always considered my collection quite respectable... I also would disagree with some of the albums selected for the artists... For example: The Clash - Should have been London Calling Miles Davis - Should have been Kind of Blue or numerous others Radiohead - OK Computer The Beatles - Revolution The Who - Tommy or The Who Sings My Generation... As many have said already, that list is missing way too much... However, I can't say that if one didn't own those 75 albums they wouldn't have a pretty solid 75 albums. There's some good stuff on it, it's just severely lacking and I think it intentionally doesn't include more obvious superior albums... But Wow at Modern Sounds in Country Music, and Traveling Wilburys. Two solid solid albums I was pleased to see and didn't expect. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance.
