Agreed, but I think they hit the nail on the head with The Clash's
"London Calling" in the number one spot.
But where is Blondie's Autoamerica? That was pretty influential.
I guess Rolling Stone was considering the entire album as a whole and
not individual hits. When I look at their top picks, albums like
The Pretenders, Joshua Tree, Gabriel's "So". Those were awesome albums -
in their entirety.

These "Top Lists" always spark debate. It's interesting what made it
(Marshal
Crenshaw?), what got ranked where (Prince?) (Three times?), and what was
completely overlooked. (Where's Missing Persons?!!) Lyle Lovett is only #91?

X's "Los Angeles" was named #24 on Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 100 albums
of
the 1980's. Top 3 in my opinion. And "Under the Big Black Sun" gets in those
3
as well.
