The Canon

That 500 Albums Rolling Stone list released 7-8 years ago was my springboard into getting into music.

do you still like the albums from it that you liked then?

There was a Rolling Stone Top 100 albums of the last 20 years list in 1987 that was my buying guide for awhile back then. I can't find it anywhere now though.

Actually, here it is (3rd list from the top)

When I was a kid, we didn't have a canon! It was bad to bring rock into the classroom.

The Rolling Stone 80s list on the same web page is horrible. Reminds that me when we talk about "the Mojo/Rolling Stone canon" there's a massive difference between the to mags, and indeed the two countries.

president keyes you mean this one? http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/rstone.html#albums

yeah theres always big differences in RS & Mojo. Dave Matthews Band for instance will never get in a Mojo one

Nor would you see this in Mojo:

55. Centrefield - John Fogerty
56. Closer - Joy Division

lol! rolling stone is so passe.

Basically, if this were 20 years ago and RS represented the canon I would be the Lex.

im sure a Spin canon will be different to the rolling stone one
