Re: NME - 500 Greatest Albums Of All-Time

NME printed one of the first 100 Album lists ever, in 1974. It was very good on the whole. However, here's 10 albums from the 1974 list that I don't think will survive: 32. Gasoline Alley - Rod Stewart

That would still put a lot of points with the top 30 choices on each list, though ...
