The Beatles - 1 is stupid. It's almost exclusively their bubble gum pop music. No Peppers, and I think only Let it Be from Let it Be, and I dont think any Abbey Road.

U2 Best of 80s or Best of 90s should definately be on there if Nirvana is...Eagles Greatest Hits should be a lot higher...I know sales aren't everything, but it's the best selling album of all time...

Bruce, he blows. You can leave him of of any list of the greatest and it is just alright with me.
But no Zeppelin, that is a travesty.
For the most part, Yahoo lists blow.

It seems silly to me to list the "25 best Rock & Roll Albums" and then have 90% of them are "Best of"/"Greatest Hits". The 25 best albums should be the 25 best single-session albums. Otherwise, it's like comparing each band's playlist on an iPod.

The Greatest Hits albums with the Red and Blue borders were much better, and had many more songs.

These should be real albums, not greatest hits compilations.

No Rush Moving Pictures or 2112?
No U2 The Joshua Tree?

What kind of list is this?

It's a list of "Best Of" albums. They've already done the best albums of all time, so they're just trying something different to fill space.

I never heard of the band "Various Artists" :roll:

If you wanted something from Motown, why not the best of The Temptations.

Also missing Legend: The Best of Bob Marley, Best of Van Morrison (but that may be a personal favorite). maybe even the best of the Dead?

As one of the biggest deadheads on the board, Im not annoyed that their's isnt on the list. Their live cd's are where its at. I completely agree with Marley. Probably the biggest omission on the list for my personal taste.

You've got it wrong. Clarence blows, Bruce plays the guitar.

It is a little early for the heat to be getting to your head. The Boss is great.

The Beatles "Let it Be" isn't even the best "Let It Be" album

XTC - Rag and Bone Buffet
Talking Heads - Sand in the Vaseline.
Rush - I forgot the title... Gold CD? I have it, I just can't remember the name of it.
Jethro Tull - Acoustic Hits. You could also choose the 3CD box set that came out in 1989. Chateau D'Isaster Tapes is one of the CDs in there and it's got some gems.

I will cast a vote for Guns N Roses debut album, Appetite for Destruction.

I second Hawkeye Vince, we need at least something from the Canadian power trio Rush.

Top 5 Rush albums:

1. 2112
2. Farewell to Kings
3. Fly by Night
4. Permanent Waves
5. Rush

Post subject:  My 2 cents
While we're on the subject...I hate it when "Greatest Hits" complilations feature glaring omissions (how could the Pretenders Greatest not include Mystery Achievement?), re-mixes (Radio Free Europe on REM's Eponymous), re-makes (usually due to legal issues with a previous label ala Badfinger), live versions of the best songs (You Really Got Me on Come Dancing with The Kinks), radio-edits versions (Won't Get Fooled Again on The Who's Greatest) or new songs which usually suck anyway (3 of them on Best of Both Worlds by Van Halen). :x
