GA Russell Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Time Magazine has created a list of what they think are the top 100 albums of all time, since 1954. Nearly all of them are rock. The jazz albums are Kind of Blue, A Love Supreme and Bitches Brew. Each album listed has a link to a discussion of why it was chosen, and further links to related stories regarding the music. You might find it interesting to read what a mass market publication is telling the masses, though I don't think anyone here will be persuaded by anything they write. http://www.time.com/time/2006/100albums/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) Weird logic how they found four of the top albums of the aughts to be collections of material from earlier decades.

Jim R Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Wow... KIND OF BLUE was released by Sony in 1959. Very AMG-esque. The kids who assembled this list probably never owned a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids who assembled this list probably never owned a record. I agree. At the same time, I'm a little surprised that there are so few records I really dislike on this list. There are a few (Elton John, Madonna, Stone Roses, Paul Simon, etc), but overall I either love, like or tolerate everything they listed. PS: Robert Johnson was a great 60s artist.
