500 Greatest Albums

Lista dei 500 migliori album secondo Rolling Stone

Nel novembre 2003 la rivista musicale Rolling Stone pubblicò un articolo che elencava quelli che, secondo una giuria scelta dalla redazione statunitense della rivista, erano i 500 migliori album di tutti i tempi. La giuria era composta da 273 importanti musicisti, critici, storici e persone dell’industria musicale, tra cui Beck, The Edge, Jackson Browne, Art Garfunkel, Missy Elliott e membri dei Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Linkin Park e Doors.

Ciascun giurato poteva esprimere 50 preferenze, e i risultati vennero calcolati con un sistema di punti ideato dalla Ernst & Young tra 1 600 titoli votati in totale. Nel 2012 la lista è stata aggiornata. (it-wikipedia)
