#56 Liz Phair, 'Exilie in Guyville' #RollingStoneTop500 Another one I own. I've loved this album since I first got it a few years after it came out. Strangely, upon this listen, the last song, 'Gunshy,' sounded different to me. Memory is weird, but I might have to pull out my CD and check.
Annoyingly, Apple Music (at least the Tesla app) puts slight pauses between tracks, which sounds all wrong.
#55 Pink Floyd, 'The Dark Side of the Moon' #RollingStoneTop500 Finally! Another one I own and would have put higher. The whole thing just works and takes me back to college (duh). 4th best selling album of all time. Charted 996 weeks (has to be the record)!
It's just that the depolarizing channel is hard enough
I do indeed. Are their capacities uncomputable or something? That would be cool. And disturbing.
I don't care about that, I just want to know about the depolarizing channel
We just need the bots to review the papers the bots submit. Then other bots can read them.
It was cool seeing him borrow a riff from Bowie's 'Fame' on 'Hot (I Need to Be Loved, Loved, Loved, Loved)'
#54 James Brown, 'Star Time' #RollingStoneTop500 Another collection? I like these, but they all start to sound the same after a while. Brown shouts, a good jazzy horn comes in, repeat. Four hours of this was a bit much!
#53 Jimi Hendrix, 'Electirc Ladyland' #RollingStoneTop500 Honestly, I'm far behind writing this up. I think I liked the jams on this but I can't really remember. Deserves another listen for sure. 'All Along the Watchtower' is classic, of course.

I can't stand reading Dowd so much that I can't even stand reading your parodies of her
#52 Davie Bowie, 'Station to Station' #RollingStoneTop500 More good Bowie, but a few weeks from listening I don't really remember much of it. 'Golden Years' is the only song I know from having 'ChangesOneBowie' on CD.
#51 Chuck Berry, 'The Great Twenty-Eight" #RollingStoneTop500 Weird to have a collection make this list but whatever, I've always liked Chuck Berry. A lot of these sound alike with the same intro (are the all 'Johnny B. Goode' but so what? I found myself singing along a lot.
Anyway, I've like a lot of stuff I didn't know about. I think I only owned two of the albums in the top 50 and one of those only because a roommate left it. Amazing. Perhaps I'll post more on this thread as I think of thoughts.
The next two are Eagles and don't make the cut either.
And for me, how about something 80s New Wave other than one Talking Heads album? OK, we get most of this in the next 50, including the no. 2 top selling album AC/DC 'Back in Black'. No. 1 is Thriller which we already had. Whitney Houston's no. 3 'The Bodyguard' soundtrack doesn't make it though.
But where's Pink Floyd? 'Dark Side of the Moon' is the 4th best selling album of all time and charted for 993 weeks and is great (OK, it's at #55). Where's The Who? Where's The Doors? Where's anything Metal (which I don't like)? Where's Queen? Where's U2 (who I don't love)? Where's Eagles?
I'd have a lot less rap to make room for some things that definitely belong, and that's not even saying they need to have weird stuff I like. I don't expect to see They Might Be Giants though I'd love it if they were.
Reflecting on having made it through the first 50 albums in #RollingStoneTop500 a few weeks ago: First, it's amazing how few of these I was familiar with. I said I wasn't going to quibble with the order but I definitely think some things are missing that shouldn't be.
@dulwichquantum.bsky.social it's coming out both ends!
I don't know what kids can handle but I so want to say yes! I was 10 when it came out and loved it so much.

Hey, I know that flower!
What's the "great news" part?
It looks like it's wearing headphones
You must be a quantum computer
Hooray! I'm 10% of the way through #RollingStoneTop500. It took about 5 months so this whole project is going to take years. It's been extremely interesting and fun so far.
@dulwichquantum.bsky.social you just reskeeted me to embarass me if I turn out to be wrong :)
