Rolling Stone draws up the ranking of the 500 most significant records, but among the top 15 only one is from 1980 – TGCOM 24 Mediaset
11:38 – Rolling Stone magazine lists the 500 best albums ever. And if the “Beatles” could not miss the first place with the rock masterpiece ” Sgt. Pepepr’s Lonely Hearts Club Band “, it immediately catches the eye that among the top 15 most voted records, the most recent one, from 1980, is ” London Calling ”by the Clash (ranked eighth). While the 70s are very popular with 187 titles in the top. Did the music end in those years?
It goes without saying that our artists do not cross the border and do not appear in the list, also because the jury is made up entirely of foreigners.
The albums were assembled by the magazine’s editorial staff by putting together the results of two votes. One from 2003 and one from 2009, when a jury of 271 artists , producers and journalists was asked to choose the best albums. From this combination comes the new, updated, top.
In the superclassification, the record attendance is contended by three, with 10 albums each in the place of honor: the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. In the 50s there are 11 albums in the chart, 105 in the 60s, 187 in the 70s , 82 in the 80s, 75 in the 90s, 38 in the 2000s. And, only 2, since 2010.
