ok, Rolling Stone...try not to gag. I mean, who actually reads Rolling Stone..? And 'Best Albums EVER...' lists are just arbitrary bullshit that will be recycled toilet paper in a few weeks but.. It really bugged me that in their top 500 albums of all time they didn't have even one token Aphex, BoC or AE release. I mean, think of all the artists that cite them as influence... I just don't get it. It seems so obvious to me that it is some of the most enjoyable music ever, so I can never understand why so few people like it. Come to think of it, I don't think they had a SINGLE electronic album in the entire thing, not even Kraftwerk... Maybe the closest was New Order-Substance |

they wouldn't have any of that, IDM still has just a small niche following and RS is the most mainstream music mag out there. pretty pathetic list but i expected as much from them |

Well I have to agree with everything that you've said here, but Nine Inch Nails was selected at #200 for The Downward Spiral. I think we can count that as electronic. Though I do think they left out a lot of really great artists not that the ones that named weren't great but I seem to recall all of eminems albums coming in before 300 and I think that's a travisty. But then again I do like Autechre, and Aphex Twin. So what do I know??? |

idm comes off as pompous and wanky to a lot of people, though the fact that they refuse to care/listen to it makes them seem that way too. i have friends who dont care for it, much like i dont care for their music. dont know, not really surprised. never gets that much attention in terms of "top number" lists. these lists are pretty strange to me whenever someone does them. pitchfork included some aphex squarepusher and boc. but since everyone seems to launch holy war against pitchfork, maybe i shouldnt mention them. |

I did expect atleast ambient works 2. And moby is in the fucking list. For fucksakes. Granted, lots of the music on the list in the rock catagory is wonderful. I love dylan, pet sounds, beatles. Those show no credit to RS. They are safe bets, for sure. How many of these lists have there been? |

It takes effort for people to acclimate to non vocal music. That's probably the issue with 'idm'. |

I remember Rolling Stone gave Drukqs 1 star. In the same issue, it gave Afroman's album 3 stars. That was the last time I bothered to read Rolling Stone. |

it gets on my nerves too how every damn list like that always has every single Beatles album every released jammed into the top 10... if that was 20 albums they'd still fit them all in the top 10... come on, pick the best, 2 best, or even three best beatles albums, but leave it at that... |

yeah, i mean... i love the beatles as much as the next guy, but... get off their gun already!!! that was HOW long ago? we've made just as many advancements in music since then. yeah, they broke new ground. but so has ae, and personally... i'd rather listen to draft7.30 than a beatles album i've heard a zillion times just about any day. that's just me |

I'll tell you why, it's because it would mean less people would buy the mag to see theirr fav band/arrtist listed. |

if you want some real comedy, look at . yes, some of them are good choices but most of them are bad. i hate to be so simplistic but it's that basic: it's almost all lip service to the major labels and their biggest sellers. i'm really glad outkast, the roots, the neptunes, and radiohead got nomimations but there's so much missing. i think talib kweli's "get by" deserved a lot of nominations and neither he nor the song got any. common's album was also ignored, as were blackalicious. these guys should've at least gotten "rap album of the year" nominations. i could go on but let's not even get started on the dance category and some of the rock categories (i don't think indie rock is all that great lately but come on, there's better stuff out there than white stripes which is in like every category..). |

i think it's kind of pretentious to say "why is there no IDM on this list?" "WHAT OH MY GOD, WHY IS THERE NO TUVALIAN THROAT SINGING ALBUMS ON THIS LIST?" |

The Best Metal Performance category in the Grammy nominations is the worst list ever. I don't expect them to nominate any awesome underground stuff, but look at this: Did My Time Korn mOBSCENE Marilyn Manson St. Anger Metallica Smothered Spineshank Inhale Stone Sour "St Anger" is an awful song, and a worse album. I can't believe that ANYONE takes it seriously. |
