Tux of Borg Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Time Magazine's Top 100 Music Albums: So here's how we chose the albums for the All-TIME 100.

Collections? What a friggin' joke! It'd be nice if their top albums actually included some albums.
ieatcrayonz Posted November 16, 2006 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"?
daquixers_is_back Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 They have Read To Die by BIG, but not All Eyez On Me by Pac.
EC-Bills Posted November 16, 2006 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.
IBTG81 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 WTF!! 838261[/snapback] Maybe because Pink Floyd sucks?
R. Rich Posted November 16, 2006 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.
Chef Jim Posted November 16, 2006 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.
EC-Bills Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Maybe because Pink Floyd sucks? 838510[/snapback] Right, because Barenaked Ladies are soo much better than Pink Floyd
EZC-Boston Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I'm impressed how well rap is represented.
RuntheDamnBall Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Right, because Barenaked Ladies are soo much better than Pink Floyd 838818[/snapback] I say we settle this with a deathmatch. Really, Time magazine is an authority on music? Really?
EC-Bills Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 I say we settle this with a deathmatch. Really, Time magazine is an authority on music? Really? 838823[/snapback] Of course it is. Where have you been?!? Death match idea does have merit though...
loadofmularkey Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Hmm, It Takes A Nation Of Millions getting the nod over Fear Of A Black Planet? Interesting.
Stl Bills Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Ready to Die, Biggie's first CD, is a classic.

I'd rather listen to 2Pacalypse Now, which is very underrated, or the Makaveli CD than that one. 838567[/snapback] Can't say I agree there, All eyes on me was his best IMHO and better than the other albums you listed (although I still think they are classics--especially illmatic and Enter the Wu).
mcjeff215 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Anthologies? Collections? What a friggin' joke! It'd be nice if their top albums actually included some albums. 838285[/snapback] Yeah that's what I noticed.... wtf? Kinda takes the "meaning" out of it.
IBTG81 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Right, because Barenaked Ladies are soo much better than Pink Floyd 838818[/snapback] We're not talking about BNL. We're talking about Floyd sucking.
apuszczalowski Posted November 16, 2006 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
IDBillzFan Posted November 16, 2006 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'...
Chef Jim Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 We're not talking about BNL.We're talking about Floyd sucking. 839059[/snapback] Well you just proved what a dweeb you are.
