If you’re off by pay-per-view, know what’s going on behind Rolling Stone’s digital face. For starters, the outlet released a list of its new “500 Greatest Albums” on September 22, 2020. While it still includes Bob Marley’s highest hits album, Beatles fans and other classic acts will probably notice big changes.
This is a way to see the latest version of Rolling Stone’s first attempt at a huge undertaking in 2003. The headline could be something like “Rolling Stone Discover Rap”. After only one hip-hop artist claimed a top-50 record in ’03, nine albums formed an inner circle in ’20.
Undoubtedly, the choices of 300 musicians, critics, producers and industry people who voted in the polls will flutter the feathers of many Rolling Stone readers. (That’s better than Kanye’s album Leadership Zeppelin IV? Station to station Comes next Fully paid? OK!)
But a particularly significant change came to the fore. Sergeant. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), unanimously elected for best record, dropped out of the top 20 altogether. In the meantime, the list dramatically faded in the last Fab for Record.

In some ways, no re-evaluation Sergeant. Pepper Not surprisingly. During the 50th anniversary of the record in 2017, Twitter users saw it Pepper Mistakes with ruthless abandonment. John Lennon probably understood where these voices were coming from.
Looking back at Fab Four’s output in 1972, Leno said it was too much White album Than (1968) Sergeant. Pepper. “The Pepper Myth is big, but music White album He’s the best, ”he told the 1972 writers Apple to core.
Well, maybe Pepper The legend is no longer so big. In the new Rolling Stone poll, the album ranked 24th from bottom to top. It puts him behind the infamous Big The dye is ready (1994), Deportation on Main Street (1972), and another 21 records.
Speaking of Lennon’s selection for the best Beatles album, those who polled for the new list didn’t catch on. Abbey Road (1969), the final statement by Fab Four, was a record of the Beatles gaining ground.

For review, the Beatles claimed four of the top 10 spots in the ’03 Rolling Stone poll. Then Pepper First, Revolver (1966) was at No. 3, then Rubber sole (1965) at No. 5 and White album At number 10. All four of those records dropped out of the top 10 in 2020.
Revolver (No. 11) was the only one close to the four. White album While falling in 29th place Rubber sole Ranked 35th. Abbey Road Ranked 14th in ’03, ranked in the list. It was another album that wasn’t crazy about Lennon.
“I like one side,” Lane told Rolling Stone in 1971. I never liked the pop opera on the other side. I think it’s rubbish. “Yet outside the medley, Abbey Road There was a performance for two of George Harrison’s favorite songs. And in the streaming era none of them have reached the ears more than the other tracks of the Beatles. They say times change.
