I've just found this list looking for the record of Jacques Brel. And I'm shocked about the absence of CARLOS GARDEL. It's not just a list of authors, there's Elvis there, it's OK, he has to be there, but what about Gardel? Tango is something more than a stereotype, it is genuine popular culture of the XXth century, as much as the blues, though it has not been as influential, mainly because it belongs to the spanish speaking world. I'm shocked because Rockdelux belongs to the same world, and has consciously ignored it, as something demodé, regardless of its intrinsical value.

pretty much canonic.they pick the more influential artists (in my opinion) with one or two records and their choices aren´t always the more obvious ones, so congratulations. I have 41 of them.
And yeah....uhh...I am one of those who likes to read these lists.

The few from each approach is hopeless. David Bowie and The Beatles clearly have made more than two albums each that belong in such a list.

I disagree. I wouldn't put a single bowie or beatles album in a top 200. If multiple albums per artist were allowed, i wouldn't even put them in a top 500...

MMT might come close though.

I think this (the RDL) is the best list I've read so far. I don't mean that I agree 100% on the selection but just compare it with the Rolling Stone's, the Q's and the NME's. Also look and the 90's list and name one serious omission: OK, maybe Portishead. I know many may be pissed about Radiohead not being there but not me.

I also like a few things like The Beach Boys on top of The Beatles and VU on top of them all. I think compilations and greatest hits should have been omited though.

Although these lists are way stoopid, I don't mind this one, except
no ac/dc? I guess the absence of Radiohead makes up for it.
