Let's also poll and moan about ... Acclaimed Music's Top 50 Albums of All Time

I guess I haven't known many people who care enough about music to seek out these albums but not enough to develop an individual taste or curiosity that departs from that?

This list reads like a specific college student's CD collection circa 2005

Oh, that's interesting. I was struggling to imagine anyone whose favourite albums would be these albums, in this order, while I could easily do that with the RYM list.

I'm guessing your student listening was different to most students, lol

the people seeking them out are 12-15.

That I could maybe see.

I think older more like 18-21

It was different from both lists but I'm capable of observing other people. Two other people have said on the RYM thread that they knew people whose tastes looked like that list fwiw.

Wait, these are not the top 50 albums I see here: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/061024/1948-02a.htm

London Calling is #10 on that list, for instance, and Is This It falls outside the top 50. Ditto Doolittle. Where was this list from?

I used this one which is the link on the main page!

Weird. Is the other one an older list?

No idea

yes, it was. pre 2015 apparently

So is the new revised RS top 50 better than this?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I like at least one track from every one of these records. Best is Forever Changes over Astral Weeks.

I voted forever changes

Until Metallica starts showing up on these things, I always am the one Ramones voter.
