    Doggystyle at 340 seems a bit low. The rest I agree with.

    I can't believe how low they had Al Green's greatest hits, Bonnie Raits Nick of Time, The Stooges, The Supremes or Muddy Waters anthology...even Marvin Gaye's Here my Dear....didn't get past the bottom 50....they must factor record sales into it

    Horrible rankings. But music is different to different people. They should just say top 500 without assigning any rankings in my opinion.

    A poll that gets people to read, listen, and debate great music doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

    I agree....ranking art is a pretty useless practice but what I get from it is maybe several albums I've never heard..always a plus. I mean they don't have any classical music there at all so....

    Classical music wasn't released in an album format.
