Strange Beatles choice... I imagine their other albums were much more influential.

Overall, a pretty good list - mine would've been pretty similar.

 

[ajrooney]

I don't see how "Grace" changed music, even though his voice is great. It could be better in terms of albums that changed music, this feels like more of a best albums list.

14?????

Whatever they reckon!

 

[Dave]

dr dre? what next

 

[Worm]

Ha! Okay, let the argument begin: is the music press totally worthless or is there a comic relief factor?

 

[Comtesse]

I just have to say that any list of influential albums that doesn't mention Patti Smith's Horses is worthless. Morrissey and Michael Stipe (among many others) have claimed that this album completely changed their lives. And how can you have The Strokes on a list and not include Television's Marquee Moon? And I would definitely rank NWA's Straight Outta Compton as more influential than The Chronic.

But what do I know anyway?

 

[TLOTFamousIP]

I have 20 of those albums. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
