Nearly 500 voters helped RollingStone compile 'The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time' for its latest hardcover
Is Fleetwood Mac's landmark album"Rumours" better than"To Pimp a Butterfly" by Kendrick Lamar? Should"Tapestry" by Carole King be ranked higher or lower than"Thriller" by Michael Jackson?
But if you disagree with the rankings, don't blame the folks at Rolling Stone. Blame Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Iggy Pop. Nile Rodgers, Questlove, Billie Eilish, Herbie Hancock, Saweetie, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lin-Manuel Miranda and members of Metallica and U2, among dozens of other artists. They were among the judges.

But we hope there's people who could definitely want to try them all out and see what they think," Dolan said."That's the goal: making connections and being introduced to new things."
The book's origins started in 2003 when the magazine published its first 500 list, putting The Beatles"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" at No. 1. It was a pretty Beatles-heavy list, with three more Fab Four albums making the top 10. Joni Mitchell's"Blue" shot up on the new list, going from No. 30 in 2003 to the top 10 now, and Prince and the Revolution's"Purple Rain" went from No. 76 to No. 8. Another big gainer was Lauryn Hill's"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," which zoomed up from the 300s in 2003 to Top 10 now.
Some artists' catalogues have also shifted. Bob Dylan's"Blood on the Tracks" leapfrogged his"Blonde on Blonde" and"Highway 61 Revisited" this time, and the Beatles'"Abbey Road" became their top album in the book, over"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,""Rubber Soul" and"Revolver."
