I will stan all day long for the Beatles from Rubber Soul through the white album, and even the early pop, but, except for the three big hits, I don't get what people see in Abbey Road tbch.

This is pretty much where I am. I even prefer Let It Be to Abbey Road

I like the end of abbey road, golden slumbers and carry that weight. other than that, it's mostly toss bar come together, here comes the song, and something

I still think Abbey Road a solid 8/10, just the weakest Beatles album other than maybe Beatles For Sale. Revolver or White should have been the RS top-10 pick imo

as a true rockist i know that rubber soul is the best

I'm happier seeing Abbey Road at 5 than Sgt Peppers at 1 but I voted for The White Album, so there's that

should have gone with the beatles' red and blue albums, or maybe #1s, if we're including stuff like legend and the immaculate collection

I'd be happy to talk about Xenakis but he didn't make the list.

there's not an obvious Kind of Blue/Legend/Indestructible Beat* type token pick for Brazil
i think there is and it's Os Mutantes' self titled
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 20:40 (five years ago)
or Africa Brasil. But every list *should* have Africa Brasil in it
― Oor Neechy, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 20:41 (five years ago)
I got to Pithoprakta first. There are definitely some banging sounds, thread has delivered
― rob, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 20:42 (five years ago)
I'm all for focusing on Brazil but it's hardly the only country with a rich musical tradition that got the short end of the stick here.

'californication' was, in 2003, merely the 401st best album ever recorded; now it's 286th

Agreed! I got sick of scrolling but Japan was certainly underrepresented. Lots of Europe too

Even putting aside the list I felt so cheated by that Harry Styles album. People were hyping it up like “he’s put a modern spin on glam and Fleetwood Mac and hall and oates” and it sounded like maroon 5 https://t.co/jtgntcruLF— Dee Beare (@MadBeare) September 22, 2020
