>U2 - The Joshua Tree
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
only fucking rolling stone would think that shit band was remotely good
> ctrl-f "The Final Cut"
>No results
Yeah it's garbage.
>Rolling Stone
What did you expect?
>U2
Stopped reading there.
>purple rain ahead of Sign O The Times
cringe
>remain in light behind u2 and acdc
it's a widely agreeable list from a popular magazine that also gave adele's 25 a perfect score.. were you expecting them to list 100 deep cuts from rateyourmusic instead of the obvious albums people grew up with?
>Rolling Stone
>Ever being anything other than some yuppie hipster retards
Wow OP breaking fucking news it's almost like everyone who's really into music and not just trends considers them a total joke! Even the albums on there that break the stereotype like Motorhead and Slayer are only stuck in there retroactively to combat the stuffy reputation they have and because those bands have retroactively become "legendary" but also "safe" for a hipster to like on some level.
>Includes Fela Kuti
Fuck Rolling Stone
Replace the Def Leppard albums with some Talk Talk and PiL and then it's solid
>U2
>GNR
>AC/DC
>Anywhere near the top
And I like the Pretenders but I don't think any album by them should be so high up on a list like this. Not sure what you expected though. Of course their list will be mostly stuff anyone on the street will have heard of.
U2, gnr, graceland, acdc and springsteen blow
This is far more accurate than the retarded list Yea Forums would make
T. guys who actually work at Rolling Stone and are mad those "hetero cis white male scum" bands were FORCED upon them
Out of curiosity - because I genuinely don't know - do most people know the Mekons, Spacemen 3 or Big Black?
What kind of mental gymnastics is this?
What're you even trying to say?
Not one bad album on this list. What, not enough white indie bands?
U2 are the worst band of all time
No Metallica :(
>U2
Are you fucking kidding
>the queen is dead
what happened to the S/T?
What's weirder to me is Louder Than Bombs instead of Hatful of Hollow. I guess they're an American magazine though.
Louder Than Bombs is less of compilation and more of a "singles" album
Hatful of Hollow has like 2 songs that you can't find on any other albums
so I'd say that's the explanation
No
fuck of posers U2 are sick
>fuck of
It's just the Pitchfork list plus a lot of boomer rock that nobody under 60 likes
That's exactly what it is
What the actual fuck is #28, never heard of that
I've also never heard of #54
80's hip hop is honestly really terrible
Your loss, Clifton Chenier is good shit
No u
Rolling Stone always inflates the score of black albums to avoid getting called racist. There's no way anyone that has ever worked there truly thinks that Public Enemy and Run-DMC belong in the top ten.
>3. Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
would have been around 25 had this poll actually been done 20 years ago or earlier.
nobody gave a top 20 mainstream fuck about rap until Tupac's album All Eyez on Me was released and we're talking 1996/97. Before then rap weighed very little in the world of big albums, except Beasties, but they're white dudes
This was fifteen years ago
This right here.
>Slayer, Motorhead
>No Metallica
I love Slayer and Motorhead but how the fuck did they make that list when Metallica was way more known and literally changed the face of metal?
> normie
fuck off, zoomer faggot.
>fuck of posers U2 are sick
U2 has forever been fucking cancer.
>There's no way anyone that has ever worked there truly thinks that Public Enemy and Run-DMC belong in the top ten.
Why do you retards think this? How come no other genre have these type of retards?
>Nobody actually likes these album, it’s a conspiracy
How insecure do you have to be to think this?
Retard.
>How insecure do you have to be to think this?
Only the most insecure of all whites act like hip hop is the nectar of the gods, you projecting s0yb0y.
>Reddit spacing
That explains a lot.
there's some pretty marginal shit on the list considering the total lack of Kate Bush, Metallica and Iron Maiden
I was also going to make a joke about at least RS being consistent by leaving Queen out, but I guess none of the 80's Queen albums deserve to be anywhere near a top 100 list
Only a person with an account there would know what "reddit spacing" is.
All of my posts are intentionally spaced out.
Including this one.
Now go back there and stay there.
Bro, that’s fucking cringe.
>the virgin mj beating the chad prince
I don't think so tim
what a generic comment
Yeah I'm thinking underage
>No Big Country - The Crossing
like it or not he's responsible for remain in light
>Slayer - Reign in Blood
no megadeth or metallica
yeah, i'm thinking not based at all
Dude is one of the great guitarists, was in Fairport Convention
>U2
FUCK NO
>not a single Kate Bush album
jeez
Actual best u2 record, too bad it isn't 80s
It's a accurate list
Why? Because 80s was the shittiest decade for a music, ever.
Literally any decade was better.
t. zoomies still mad that Bono hacked their precious iPhones
Slayer were more influential than those fags.
it's actually a good list though
One of the best albums of all time.
If you're going to include U2 at least have it be their best album
