After 17 years, Rolling Stone magazine published a new list “500 greatest albums of all time”. Controversy is on the web!
Hip hop, Rap, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé appear at the top 100. The Beatles are among the greatest artists that fall and loose positions.
Sgt Pepers´s is no longer the # 1 album. “What´s goin on” by Marvin Gaye is the new king.
Abbey Road is the only Beatles album at the top 10. (17 years ago The Beatles had 4 albums at the top 10!)
Here are the changes related to the top 5 Beatles albums.
Sgt Pepper ´S falls from # 1 to #24
REVOLVER from #3 to 11
Rubber Soul from # 5 to # 35
THE BEATLES from # 10 to 29
Abbey Road jumps from # 14 to # 5
The Beatles have 9 albums on the list. 5 at the top 50.
John Lennon have 11 albums as member of The Beatles and as solo (Plastic ono band and Imagine ). Paul, 10 (with Ram ), George 10 (with All Things Must Pass )
Led Zeppelin and Elvis off the top 50. U2 an Queen off the top 100. Rock is loosing positions. New sounds are climbing and climbing.

What’s Going On
I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Offline I read the spoiler as ‘What Goes On ‘ and was trying to figure out why the Ringo song was #1.
This is the same as getting a number 1, it’s great if you do and gives a warm feeling in your nostrils on a cold day but it really means little. ‘Pepper’ is only the 24th greatest album ever… Damn. I’ll have to go and burn it.
