both of them

List on the left has great albums with little to no influence on the greater sphere of music culture or industry at all.

List on the right as great albums with much influence.

Geek the Girl belongs on neither, however.

wtf I wish I lived in the 60s

I hate Scaruffi but his list has way more true innovation and personality

Fuck Scaruffi
I don't listen to a single word that comes out of the piece of garbage's head
He can go suck a cock for all I care
Rolling Stones may have chosen some weak albums, definitely too much Beatles representation, but at the very least their picks are the ones you can show to people and they will say "this is timelessly good music, but for the time they were released they were innovative and they shaped music and culture as a whole"
While the shit on the left is just "i like it cause it's not the obvious picks and it sounds cool to me lol"
He doesn't have a single Beatles album which is fucking stupid, you have to admit that Sgt. Pepper's was at least worthy of being on there somewhere, even if begrudgingly.
And, Trout Mask Replica at number 1?
God. Fuck Scaruffi. Fuck him.

as boring as RS' list is I can't really back one that has the Doors at #5 and the worst, most forgettable Nick Cave at #14, above Blonde on Blonde

Scaruffi is right. The Beatles are boring as shit. I do like the Beach Boys though.

the rolling stone list is boring and the scaruffi list is trying to hard to not be boring

>TMR
>TVU
>Doors
>Dylan

>no influence

>VU&N
>The Doors
>Trout Mask Replica
>Blonde on Blonde
>little to no influence on the greater sphere of music culture or industry at all

Who lets people like you on this board?

I like both however I feel right has to much Beatles in it, kinda unfair imo

where do you think labels like "timelessly good music" come from? they are shaped by publications like Rolling Stone. I don't want to even argue that scaruffi's picks have more musical merit, though as a disclaimer i do enjoy them quite a bit more on average than the RS list. one concrete truth is that the albums on the right sold orders of magnitude more, and that RS was marketed to orders of magnitude more people. take that as you will.

i think scaruffi's approach of seeking out bleeding-edge weirdness and counter-countercultural emblems, occasionally contrarian as it may be, is more worthwhile than reordering the canon of rock albums. lots of people (and not just on Sup Forums -- i have been to one of scaruffi's art/science meetings and it attracts a fairly broad crowd) find them musically interesting and beautiful and are fascinated by their roles in musical history. what's wrong with that?

Nevermind is the best album

>>Kind of Blue
>no score
thats the 10th greatest jazz album of all time to him desu

How do you have a score for nevermind, but not thriller???

>Racist

Le TMR is le best spaghetti man list vs DUDE 60s rock is the best list

Only question is who cares

Ofc there are great albums on both lists but scaruffi just picked the stuff he likes personally and rolling stone just licks the beatles butt since day one

>cherrrypicking
>TVU and Dylan on both lists

Also TMR isn't influential buds, sorry.

imagine being this new :o

>you have to admit that Sgt. Pepper's was at least worthy of being on there somewhere, even if begrudgingly.
ok, which album on the left would you remove to place Sgt. Pepper's in that list?

Lol wow, the pleb trap is sprung

any of them

>He doesn't have a single Beatles album
That's what makes it such a good list
The Beatles may have had a couple good albums but to put them in the top ten all time is literally retarded and letting hype and nostalgia blind you
