One SONG short of complete!!!!! — 9 weeks ago
Well, its taken about 3 years and lots of trips to the library but this week I have completed listening to, and collecting ALL the Rolling Stone 500 list…all except for ONE song !!!
(1) Yes, just one song !!! Anyone can probably guess what that one is, because I don’t think it is available on CD in the United States, and is exorbitant to purchase. And that is the Fabulous Ronettes featuring Veronica
I can put together a version using the Best of the Ronettes, but it is missing a few of their songs. I found a copy of Chapel of Love easy enough, but it is the last one I have not been able to find… so I am appealing to the listers to help direct me to where I can get it…
It is the What’d I Say song.
If anyone knows where I can get it, or if you have it and would be willing to send me the file, I would be very grateful!! And of course I would trade you something you need or are looking for…I got everything else covered for ya!
Thanks in advance,

Generally thumbs up – better than many lists these days that are desperate to be cool, avoid certain artists like the plague. Good to find some greatest hits collections- why not? Amazing that would-be buffs usually only include studio not compilation albums. Must be part of same must-be-cool problem

Too much Hank? — 27 weeks ago
129. 40 Greatest Hits, Hank Williams
225. The Complete Hank Williams, Hank Williams
The Complete Hank Williams (#225) is a 10 CD box set of what should be his entire catalog. Why did they have add 40 Greatest Hits (#129) that has the same songs that are already contained in The Complete Hank Williams? Seems to me they could have used that spot for somebody else.

In general this is a good list…especially compared to others I’ve seen. There are a lot of classics and it’s not as over populated by albums after 1990.
It’s easy to critize the rankings and what is present and not present but broadly speaking it has some good content…
It is interesting that there are greatest hits compilations and regular albums by the same artist. I may not own the compilation but I do have most of what is contained on them.

New to the music part of this site. A question to all: — 49 weeks ago
On a list like this, would you check off albums that you’ve heard, or albums that you own?

Overrated — 1 year ago
Remove Beastie Boys “License to Ill” and replace it with “Check Your Head.”
Remove Pearl Jam’s “Ten” and replace it with “Vs.”
Remove all mention of The Strokes, Oasis, and The Smiths, and you’d have yourself a list!!!

I don’t mind this list, but really. It should be retitled “Top Albums of the 1960s/1970s, With Random Albums From Other Decads so We Don’t Seem Totally Out of Touch”

Are they serious? — 1 year ago
I’m insulted by many of the albums I saw here. Are they serious? “Jagged Little Pill” ranks with Abbey Road? “Crazysexycool” ranks with The Clash?

are you kidding me, Rolling Stone?! — 1 year ago
Where the heck are the Monkees?!
Anything past “Headquarters,” is their own, original stuff (and definitely my favorite of their work).
In one year alone, they outsold the Beatles and Rolling Stones combined!
Bah, I’m so bitter now.
