50 Best Albums of all Time
I was just reading an article in a magazine of the 50 best albums of all time. I also have the Rolling Stone 500 best albums book. Basically I'm an expert on" top album" lists.
I think they're all very subjective. Of course this is the only way to judge music, but I think they're out of touch with my generation. They all talk about albums nostalgically. An album was the first album to introduce them to psychedelia, drugs, sex, or whatever. They spent long nights wearing the grooves out on their LPs. It was exciting.
Thing is, everything is exciting to the young. When you hear the kids these days talking about movies they think Transformers is a work of creative genius. Have you heard the popular bands these days?
40 years from now when today's kids write their 50 best albums of all time, I can only imagine American Idiot ending up on that list. I can't image any American Idol will ever be on that list.
