Tux of Borg Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Time Magazine's Top 100 Music Albums: So here's how we chose the albums for the All-TIME 100. We researched and listened and agonized until we had a list of the greatest and most influential records ever - and then everyone complained because there was no Pink Floyd on it. And that's exactly how it should be. We hope you'll treat the All-TIME 100 as a great musical parlor game.

Collections? What a friggin' joke! It'd be nice if their top albums actually included some albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 WTF!! 838261[/snapback] I think "Dark Side of the Moon" would have made it but it just got bumped to number 101 by "Like a Prayer". It's hard to argue when you're laughing so hard. I'm not a Disco fan but what about The Beegees "Saturday Night Special"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daquixers_is_back Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 They have Read To Die by BIG, but not All Eyez On Me by Pac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 WTF!! 838261[/snapback] I am with you. I guess I should be happy they at least mentioned Springsteen. Although I would put Born to Run a bit higher than what they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBTG81 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 WTF!! 838261[/snapback] Maybe because Pink Floyd sucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 They have Read To Die by BIG, but not All Eyez On Me by Pac. 838357[/snapback] Ready to Die, Biggie's first CD, is a classic. It's up there w/ Nas' Illmatic, Wu-Tang Clan's Enter the Wu, and Tribe's Low End Theory as some of the best hip hop CDs ever. I can't say that for All Eyez on Me. I'd rather listen to 2Pacalypse Now, which is very underrated, or the Makaveli CD than that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Maybe because Pink Floyd sucks? 838510[/snapback] Yeah that's it. Interesting how that four of the top 9 of the 2000s are from compilations from the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's. Today's music really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Maybe because Pink Floyd sucks? 838510[/snapback] Right, because Barenaked Ladies are soo much better than Pink Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZC-Boston Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I'm impressed how well rap is represented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have you been?!? Death match idea does have merit though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loadofmularkey Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hmm, It Takes A Nation Of Millions getting the nod over Fear Of A Black Planet? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Achtung Baby - U2 Nevermind - Nirvana The Joshua Tree - U2 Master of Puppets - Metallica Back in Black - AC/DC Led Zeppelin IV (a.k.a. Zoso) Paranoid Those are the only ons on that list that I have and would consider having (well, except for some of the albums they have listed from the 60's and 70's). I'm not even a fan of U2 but those were decent albums. Kanye West?, Eminem? The list loses all credibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 It ain't an accurate list if it doesn't include Neil Diamond's "Hot August Nights." I'm just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
