Reyna ♔ Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedElegance™ Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 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? Because they're still considered the biggest thing ever by a lot of critics and the general public alike. The only other name on their level is Michael Jackson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapade Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Because they're still considered the biggest thing ever by a lot of critics and the general public alike.

TwistedElegance™ Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 And Elvis but does Elvis even have an acclaimed album like MJ and The Beatles do? Not at all. He was primarily a singles artist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Baby Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Where is "Rhythm Nation", and "CrazySexyCool" if "B'Day" is on there? "21" was great but no "Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"..."Songs in A Minor" pales in comparison to the debuts of Erykah Badu and Jill Scott.

bu. Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotboy06 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yeah, this list is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Baby Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Am I missing something because I don't see "Jagged Little Pill"? Without the Alanis debut this list has no credibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Baby Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Beyonce's "B'day" isn't even one of the 100 best R&B albums so you know this is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
