Paul snubbed in RS Top 500!
Rolling Stone's top 500 albums of all time list is finally out. I think I voted in it what, two years ago? Any way, I checked it out yesterday. Some things went right - the Beatles clobbered all takers with the #1 album, 4 albums in the top 10, 5 in the top twenty, and all of their albums on the list. John did good - Plastic Ono Band was in the top 25 and Imagine made the top 100.
But Paul? Paul had one album on the list: Band on the Run (Not his best album by a long shot) which clocked in at #418! The 500 greatest records of all time and Paul McCartney gets 418th place!!!!!!
Rolling Stone sucks. I cancelled my subscription in 1995. I won't be going back.

Re: Paul snubbed in RS Top 500!
Still wanting to buy the hardback book of Rolling Stone covers. It is $20.00. It is sealed so I cannot look inside but I assume it is all the covers up till the date of printing the book. Wondering how they have probably figured out how to delete the Ringo cover and replace it with Bruce Springsteen!!

RS never liked Paul as much as John. Jann Wenner is tight with Yoko.
I like those Brit mags for music reading these days, "Uncut" is better than Rolling Stone was at it's prime.

437. All Things Must Pass, George Harrison
didn't see Ringo in there. Funny, don't know if anyone remembers-but Time Magazine declared Bob Marley's Exodus as the greatest album of the 20th Century, this was 3 years ago. RS had it at 169.
