All these Rolling Stone lists are ridiculous.
These people are never into anything new, they live in the past.
Why the hell one would want to compile such a list is unclear to me.
Time could have been spent better digging out cool new stuff instead of going over the old that their readership already knows.
I love playing those records mentioned, but I don't need rolling stone to tell me about them. Why doesn't rolling stone write about Deafheaven, for instance?
Even in their metal list they were conservative. They put in a live recording of Mastodon in there. Mastodon as a band were great but their last studio effort was a bit of a dogshit in the doorway. They have released a couple of years ago a live recording already. The new release is good, but only digital, and why should that feature?
Damn rolling stone and their tired conservatism.

I think it's about time they included some bootleg collections in these "polls" of theirs, since I've got enough to at least round out a top 10 list myself.

Exactly--these lists are totally meaningless, but they're always good for a little ballistic reader response, drawing attention to the mag, etc. etc. The bottom line is, people have different opinions about stuff. Which is not news.

Okay, I'll bite. What's your top ten if bootlegs are included?
***I have quite a large collection of bootleg LPs myself so hopefully I'll know and/or own a number that you list.

Not that I was actually fishing, but since I got a bite I'll reel it in.
My Beatles boots alone should fill out the top 10, or at least come close to it. For each album they made I have the album sessions on disc 1 plus the alternate album with extras, outtakes, and singles mixes on disc 2:
1. Please Me Do (for Please Please Me)
2. One Before 911 (for With The Beatles)
3. Hard Days and Nights (for Hard Day's Night)
4. Every Little Thing (for Beatles for Sale)
5. Help Sessions, aka Songs For Eleanor (for Help)
6. Soul Sessions (for Rubber Soul)
7. Revolving (for Revolver)
8. Alternate Sgt. Pepper (disc 1 is mono mix plus outtakes and isolated tracks, disc 2 is "Making of Sgt. Peppers" with interviews, etc.)
The White album sessions is 4 discs and Abbey Road sessions (with mono mixes) is 5 discs, so I suppose those don't really count.
9. For Rolling Stones, I have an edition of Rolled Gold with 18 extra tracks, Gonna Rip This Joint, which is Inglewood Forum live July 10 and 13, 1975, and Voodoo at Halloween, which is Halloween Night in Oakland, 1994.
10. The Final Countdown by Syd Barrett is a double dip into his unreleased studio sessions from 1974 as well as BBC rarities from 1970.

Thanks for taking the time to post that list, stonehearted. Are those all on vinyl or are some CD-only?
You list a few bootlegs that I have not seen or heard. I will keep my eyes (and ears) out for them now. I am always interested in adding to my collection!

I guess Stevie Wonder's "Songs In The Key of Life", Little Feat's "Waiting For Columbus" and Jimi's "Electric Ladyland" must have been tied at Number 11.

Exile is far superior to the White Album.
The White Album would have been a tremendous single disc if they cut the correct songs - too much filler.

If we picked the best 14 songs from "The Beatles", lined up in the right order, would the single album still sell 20 million copies? Or would it just be a critically better album rather than a massive seller?
Which songs would you pick of the 30 to make a single album? What would be the running order?
Quadrophenia is amazing.Quote

His Majesty
1. The Who - Quadrophenia
2. The Mothers Of Invention- Freak Out
3. Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
4. The Incredible String Band - Wee Tam And The Big Huge
5. The Beatles - The Beatles
6. Donovan - A Gift From A Flower To A Garden
7. The Rolling Stones - Exile On Mainstreet
8. Super Furry Animals - Radiator
9. Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness
10. Soft Machine - Third
I'm afraid I don't know Quadrofenia, but I do know very well Tommie and I think it's a fantastic double. I've listened to the White Album quite some times these days and I love it, but it misses the coherence Exile does have, so I prefer Exile to it.
