they don't come more definitive than the beatles though I would have thought revolver was more definitive than abbey road.

[amber]

I think it's really weird that Rumours and White album made it, but not TUSK. At least kind of weird.

[ryan8472]

The Beatles' White Album was better than 99% of the albums that come after it.

[goldustsongbird]

Alicia Keys? Celine Dion?

[JazmenFlowers]

I hate definitive lists...
