Rolling Stone Names 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time – Are Yours On The List?
It’s a hard question to answer “What’s your favourite album of all time?”
How do you choose? So many come to mind for different reasons. I think of the first album I ever bought. I think of soundtrack albums because the movie was so good (hello Mama Mia, Moulin Rouge, The Greatest Showman, Grease). I love the Beatles collection I have but not sure GREATEST and FAVOURITES should be in the same category.
What makes an album GREAT to you? I have my favourites where I know the words to every song.
Take a look at this list and compare YOUR favourites to this list. It takes a while to work your way through it. I know for me, there are a number of albums I had completely forgotten about. Some, like Harry Styles and Sinead O’Connor surprised me for how long on the list they were. Lots of Beatles albums in the mix. Not a single Duran Duran album. Um, excuse me Rolling Stone, I think you’re mistaken. Seven and the Ragged Tiger and Rio should most definitely be on that list. It’s like you don’t even know music. (smile) I kid.
Madonna is there, Prince, Adele, and a whole lot of albums I’ve never heard of or listened to. I was pretty excited to see The Ramones and The Cure higher up on the list.

I would love to know what YOUR favourite album is of all time – and did it make this list? What surprised you if any?
And for those that love their music – Record Store Day is coming up in Canada in April. A day set aside to celebrate music, and get your hands on some really cool rare items. I know this year they are offering a special George Michael collection that I would love to have.
