The All-TIME 100 Albums

time_albums_300x250.gifletter-O.gifN THE HEELS OF its very popular All-TIME 100 Movies and All-TIME 100 Novels, TIME Magazine this week has launched its All-TIME 100 ALBUMS. Arguably the most contentiously subjective list of the bunch, the archive of albums has inspired as much reaction from TIME readers and TIME.com subscribers for who it mentions as much as for who it doesn't.

Anyway, the list is broken down by decade, going as far back as the 50s and up through, obviously, the first half of our present 00s (ironically enough, the most recent addition, The Essential Hank Williams Collection: Turn Back the Years, which came out last year, is from an artist whose heyday was some 50 years ago). There are other such surprises--two Radiohead albums and no GnR!--and more not so much--usual supsects Beatles, Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson--and an opportunity to write back to the TIME music editors about any other personal, salacious indignations the All-TIME 100 Albums list has assaulted upon you!

U2.gifYes, I used to work for TIME and am still supportive of the magazine and the brand it represents, so you could accuse me of shilling; but, moreso than movies and books, everyone is pasionately adamant about music and at the very least, this is a great opportunity for my generation to instruct the younger generation of what great, pioneering, defining music is beyond the Gloria Gaynor and Bon Jovi they insist on singing at every karaoke joint I've been to!

Now, "Discuss amongst yourselves...!"
