Why do majority of these lists ALWAYS have a Beatles album as the #1? I can think of an obvious answer some would give but any other thoughts?

They don't know what they're doing, lists and more lists, if you enjoyed an album thats yo shit, so fuck what they have to say..

2 points.

1) There's more than 100 greatest albums - it's impossible to list all of them especially in order of greatness.

2) Taken from the comments of the page... "We must remember that EW like Rolling Stone is very populist and needs to appeal to the masses."
