Rolling Stone issue new '500 Greatest Albums of All Time' list

Rolling Stone has compiled what they're calling a new "definitive ranking" of the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time'. The results were based on submissions from hundreds of artists, journalists, and music industry members, including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. According to Rolling Stone, the voting system worked as follows: "Voters were asked to submit ranked ballots listing their 50 favorite albums of all time. Votes were tabulated, with the highest-ranked album on each list receiving 300 points, the second highest 290 points, and so on down to 44 points for number 50. More than 3,000 albums received at least one vote." Lambgoat browsed the entire list and extracted a subset that we feel is relevant to many of our readers (listed with ranking, band, album): 487. Black Flag - 'Damaged' 453. Nine Inch Nails - 'Pretty Hate Machine' 408. Motörhead - 'Ace of Spades' 390. Pixies - 'Surfer Rosa' 385. Ramones - 'Rocket to Russia' 379. Rush - 'Moving Pictures' 375.
