Þetta er nýi listinn frá Rokk-blaðinu Rolling Stone. Hérna eru 500 bestu rokk-plötur allra tíma (þótt að rapparar eins og Nas og Public Enemy eru á listanum). Auðvitað er enginn nákvæmlega sammála þessu og ég er viss um að margir eru eftir að segja “Þessi plata á að vera ofar!” eða eitthvað álíka.
Mér finnst samt ósanngjarnt að Best of plötur fá að vera á þessum lista. Og Dark side of the moon er alltof neðarlega ég hélt að hún mundi vera allavega á topp10. Og Thick as a brick er hvergi sjáanleg en hún hlýtur að vera þarna og Let it be má líka vera ofar og Please please me er ekki 39. besta plata í heimi þótt hún er alveg ágæt.

Ég vil líka taka það fram að það voru blaðamenn Rolling Stone sem gerðu listann en ekki fólkið út í bæ. En hvað finnst fólkið út í bæ um þetta?
