1. Yes - Close To The Edge vs. Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin'

Even though I'm kind of a fan of Dylan, Yes wins this match-up.

PlasticRam

The United States Of America - The United States Of America vs. R.E.M. - New Adventures In Hi-Fi

REM was a bit boring, USA sounded original and exciting.

PlasticRam

Four Tet - Rounds vs. Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin'

I thought Dylan was a bit better.

PlasticRam

Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight as someone has already mentioned. Her Majesty on the other hand is a very average song. Just because it's by the Beatles doesn't make it a great song. But I mean I do think they're the greatest artist of all time and it's not even close. Trout Mask Replica has 3...

Not in any particular order:

Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
The Overcoat - Nikolai Gogol
The Harry Potter series - J.K. Rowling

Haven't read a lot of books.

PlasticRam

The Rising over The Yes Album. I think I gave Rising 8.5/10 and Yes 6/10. I do like the other Yes album in the competition.

PlasticRam

38. Stevie Wonder - Superstition is out! Could someone do the copying and pasting cos I'm in a rush? Thanks in advance.

PlasticRam

Bob Dylan over Japan. I remember having liked the Japan album, but still Dylan is just more my bag.

PlasticRam

I would consider The Beatles an above average band.

PlasticRam

From what I can understand, classical music isn't even allowed in the rankings, right?

PlasticRam

14. Led Zeppelin A great band, but not my favorite. I would have eliminated the Temptations, but I'm afraid that Led Zeppelin might win, so you know... I wouldn't mind any of the other bands winning this thing actually. 4. The Rolling Stones 10. Ray Charles 21. Otis Redding 28. The Clash 29. The Wh...

1. Kanye West

The only artist that could crack the top 100 on Acclaimed Music with his 2010s work alone, correct me if I'm wrong.

PlasticRam

I'm adding Paul Simon, and I hope he gets a little credit for his Simon and Garfunkel work too in this game. He wrote all the songs after all. 4. The Rolling Stones 5. Chuck Berry 9. Aretha Franklin 10. Ray Charles 12. The Beach Boys 14. Led Zeppelin 15. Stevie Wonder 16. Sam Cooke 18. Marvin Gaye 2...

3. Elvis Presley A great voice and great looks - not much else. 4. The Rolling Stones 5. Chuck Berry 7. James Brown 9. Aretha Franklin 10. Ray Charles 11. Bob Marley 12. The Beach Boys 14. Led Zeppelin 15. Stevie Wonder 16. Sam Cooke 18. Marvin Gaye 21. Otis Redding 23. Bruce Springsteen 28. The Cl...

Me too, and also Watching the Wheels by John Lennon.

PlasticRam

I eliminate:

76. Be My Baby - Ronettes

A great song for an old-fashioned song, but still the worst one left IMO.

Can the next one please do the pasting taking this into account? Thanks in advance!

PlasticRam

Rising over Fugazi. The Rising is like 4,5/5 stars and I was expecting Fugazi to be crap, but actually it wasn't that bad.

PlasticRam

UB40 and Take That

PlasticRam

One album that intrigues me in a discussion like this is Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band. At an initial listen it kinda sounds like utter crap. However I feel as you begin to listen to it more it makes sense and presents itself as masterpiece. Now this is what the profess...

PlasticRam

I vote Aphex Twin. I think I gave it like 7/10 and the Yes album 6.5 or something.

PlasticRam

If you didn't eliminate Fight For Your Right I would have. It may be their most iconic song but I consider it godawful. It's a blazing celebration if entitled hedonistic stereotypical jockness and most of it is toneless ear-assaultive screeching. Beastie Boys were such a better band when they decid...

I'll remove: 23. Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks 2.The Beatles - Revolver 6. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On 8. The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St. 12.

They are all on youtube.

What a great list! I'm starting listening all of these right now!

PlasticRam

I'm bringing Ram by Paul McCartney into the game!

PlasticRam

I remove:

66. Carole King - Tapestry

Not my bag.

PlasticRam

I'm taking out:

60. Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction

The greatest decade of all time is the 1950s, followed by the 1960s. The 1980s is way down on the list, below the 1940s and the 1970s for sure, and maybe even below the 1930s. http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRyJSDUX9fTIufqY68nmRWC2xP7fYLoFzIKfNU07J2gcJltJJ2gfPkdAyQV http://assets.rollingst...

From AM Top 25 Pet Sounds and Nevermind cos they're so ridiculously high, and also, I didn't like Horses by Patti Smith at all.

PlasticRam

While I don't particularly like 'Born in the USA', I think it should still be on this list...

And 'Born to Run' should absolutely be number one IMO...

PlasticRam

Faust - Faust IV vs. Fela Kuti - Confusion

Didn't particularly like either one. Piero Scaruffi thinks the Faust album is the 3rd greatest of all time. He's f'd up.

PlasticRam

The United States Of America - The United States Of America vs. Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac (1975) It was pretty funny when I first listened to half of the wrong Fleetwood Mac album, and thought this isn't that good. USA would have won against that, but I did find the 1975 album very good, better ...

I just made my own list: 1. The Beach Boys - God Only Knows 2. The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby 3. The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations 4. Otis Redding - Try a Little Tenderness 5. The Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere 6. The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows 7. Bob Dylan - Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands 8. T...

Japan album over 2pac's. I think virtually every other song except California Love was pretty crappy, so 90s, like not timeless. I thought Japan was gonna be pretty crappy, but it was okay.

PlasticRam

Bob Dylan - The Times, They Are A-Changin' over Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak.

PlasticRam

Donovan - Sunshine Superman vs. Meat Puppets - Up On The Sun

I liked Donovan better.

PlasticRam

King of America over Copper Blue, although my vote doesn't matter much.

PlasticRam

Let It Be over Geogaddi. I liked the latter too okay.

PlasticRam

I vote Close to the Edge over Brothers in Arms. I think generally too an album that's not that well known is more likely to be better than an album that's really popular if they're rated about the same in this site, not that I myself have a bias. Also as a random sidenote, I think American Rolling S...

Okay now the link I formerly posted isn't a direct link to the list anymore. I guess they updated the site or something.

Hi,

http://home.rhein-zeitung.de/~tommi.s/rs500.htm#500s

Why doesn't this list seem to be included in the site, while the album list of the same magazine is?
