With all these Discography Threads (Band and Singer Reviews) that we do here at Penny Can, I'm faced with how I feel about certain albums that I have a fondness for and where Rolling Stone Magazine places them on their own Top 500 List and how I disagree with a lot of their picks and placements.

So, I aim to correct their messed up list with the official Penny Can's Top 500 Albums Of All Time list. So, what is your Top 500? As for me, this is definitely going to take a long time to fill out. You don't have to name 500. You can name your Top 10 or Top 20 if that's all you can come up with. Since I am going to shoot for 500 and put Rolling Stone in its place, I will first add Albums that I think deserve to be there. Once I have enough candidates, only then will I begin to sort out the order.
