between Rolling Stone's and our list, there is still no Genesis represented!

Genesis have not made one of the 1,000 best albums!

if only geir had logged on a few hours earlier ;-)

i can't believe that Human League's Dare - was NOT on that official RS list ! Shocka

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 01:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I know it's too late, but "World Clique" by Dee-Lite really should be on there.

― Maria D., Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:01 (twenty-one years ago)

37. Ned Ragget Reads the Almanac
The Rykodisc remastered version is awesome.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay! Bonus tracks!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Though your great conceptual work was, of course, "Ned Raggett reads the Miami Dade County Phone Directory in a Series of Bad Ethnic Accents"

501. The Adventures of Dilly Dally Vol. 2: Journey Thru the Majick Castle of Everlasting Night - Pudding Pansy

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 09:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and Fugazi's Repeater.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 09:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't believe that Human League's Dare - was NOT on that official RS list !

I don't think "The Lexicon Of Love" was either. Rolling Stone have never liked New Pop, which was also evidenced by the fact that their 1989 Best Albums Of The 80s list was topped by a 1979 effort ("London Calling")

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned Ragget Reads the Almanac

WTF??? Is that a real album!?

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

At only two bucks' cost!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

"their 1989 Best Albums Of The 80s list was topped by a 1979 effort" ("London Calling")

I dunno, that's almost like calling Van Halen's "1984" an '83 release, as it was released on December 31st, 1983. Although that's the only time I've ever seen London Calling classify as an 80's album. I was under the impression that list was chronological anyway.

― billstevejim, Tuesday, 25 November 2003 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

this list forgot the frank and walters.

― keith m (keithmcl), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 06:00 (twenty-one years ago)

1. Oum Kalthoum: Roubaiyat el-Khayam.

― Rockist Scientist, Monday, 8 December 2003 06:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Have I missed:

Stone Roses: Stone Roses

― Staggerlee, Monday, 8 December 2003 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

London Calling was released in January 1980 in the U.S. and is therefore, to Americans, a 1980 album. (it also won the 1980 Pazz & Jop poll)
