Uncut Magazine - 200 Greatest Albums Of All Time

Maybe all of them were picked only by the cover? or not.

 

This really is the white male rock critic's 200 greatest albums of all time. But then, music criticism is on the whole a white male hobby.

 

I'm always a bit puzzled when jazz albums (and always the same jazz albums) find their way into these lists. I mean - if we're included non-rock/pop genres, why not include classical as well?

 

Unless I missed it, I didn't see Derek & the Domino's Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs anywhere!

 

I have 124 of these. Will definitely check out some of the ones I don't have.

Am I alone in being puzzled by the Steely Dan album choices? No Aja?

 

I have 120.

There's nothing really that is that surprising about what's in there.

I'm in two minds about the inclusion of jazz on this type of list - 5 albums (and 3 by the same person) out of 200 isn't nearly enough and the latest one was made 45 years ago!

 

Got 58 of them, but quite a few (Beatles, Roxy Music) in complete boxsets.

Philip

 

If so, Carly Simon's No Secrets is a noticeable omission for me ...

 

got 156 of them

 

Or flamenco

 

Mostly.

 

I've got 90 of them. The Stones got dissed a bit in my opinion.

 

I've got 136 of them.

My record collection has a severe bald spot when it comes to techno/urban/rnb, etc. No doubt some people would describe it as 'hideously white', although the jazz and soul usual suspects are all present and correct.

 

Only one reggae album I can see - Heart of the Congos - which means no Bob Marley.

Really?

Natty Dread or Live at the Lyceum surely - and I'd would have though other reggae should be in there like Two Sevens Clash, King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown, Satta Massagana, a Burning Spear or a Toots album.

 

Agreed. If you like reggae then Mojo are a better bet than Uncut.

 

I have 34 of these. I am a sucker for these types of lists. It often re-sparks my curiosity for albums I don't own.

 

I've got 199 of them...

Haven't got Pet Sounds. Is it any good?

 

Why limit yourself to 200 albums. It would be like limiting yourself to the use of 200 brain cells. Or only 200 craft beers. A form of book burning really.

 

What audio set-up do these people have?

 

128

 

I've heard as much...

 

Stupid list.
sh forums from 2008/2009 was way better, top 100. Closed now,pity.

 

I have 100 of them.

 

Same ****, different magazine.
