'Rolling Stone' Declares the Best Album of All Time!

Rolling Stone is making a huge pick: the best album of all time!

The outlet counted down their 500 choices for the best albums of all time on Tuesday (September 22).

“When we first did the RS 500 in 2003, people were talking about the ‘death of the album.’ The album —and especially the album release — is more relevant than ever (Votes for greatest hits albums were allowed, mainly because a well-made compilation can be just as coherent and significant as an LP, and because many hugely important artists recorded their best work before the album had arrived as a prominent format),” they said of their process for creating this year’s list.

“Of course, it could still be argued that embarking on a project like this is increasingly difficult in an era of streaming and fragmented taste. But that was part of what made rebooting the RS 500 fascinating and fun; 86 of the albums on the list are from this century, and 154 are new additions that weren’t on the 2003 or 2012 versions. The classics are still the classics, but the canon keeps getting bigger and better.”
