Don't forget Keno is an individual. These Rolling Stone/VH1 etc. lists are usually voted on by many different people in the music industry.
That's not to say you can't quibble with the results- it's still subjective, but a list voted on by fifty or a hundred musicians will be closer to reality or the general public's opinion than a list made by an individual or a small group of people.
I don't know why he is so down on Exile. I think he gives a 1-10 rating for each song on an album and then calculates the average to come up with the album rating. I like IORR and ABB too but wouldn't put them above Exile as he has.
These lists always cause a reaction. People think an album should be much higher or much lower etc. but generally speaking, major acts like the Stones are usually well represented on these lists.
The key is taking them for what they are. Some of these lists make some sense and others are senseless. One idiotic website listed the greatest bands of all time and The Stones weren't even in the top twenty. Senseless.

Doing my thing in the great Northeast. Just checked in to see what ya'll were up to, I saw the list and got the fever all over again. I expect to be in and out of here for the forseeable future.
Hope all of you have been well in my absence.

All 3 are killer. No Blonde On Blonde, though? That's a surprise. Not a Dylan guy?
No, not really. I have Biograph and his double cd greatest hits collection (I'm not even sure the name but it's a more recent release - perhaps the essential Bob Dylan? Actually I think that is it). Voice annoys the hell out of me. Great songwriter, but I just happen to enjoy his songs more when done by others - Hendrix, the Byrds. My favorite Dylan song though is Quinn the Eskimo.
