Without revealing what title was voted No. 1, the Beatles claim the most entries on VH1's "100 Greatest Albums of Rock & Roll" with five. The full list will be unveiled beginning Jan. 15 at 10 p.m. ET, when the cable outlet premieres the first episode of its latest five-hour, five-night "100 Greatest" special.

The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan follow the Beatles with four titles on the list, while seven artists -- including the Who, Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Aretha Franklin, and Jimi Hendrix -- show up with three albums.
Hosted by actor Jeff Bridges, the series will feature never-before-seen performance footage, rare photos, archival clips, and new interviews. The ranking comes from a survey of more than 500 musicians and rock journalists.

That's so awesome. The Beatles, even 35+ years later are still #1. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

The sad thing is that #2 is Narvana's "Nevermind." Don't get me wrong I like them, they are a good band, but what about albums like "Pet Sounds", "Dark Side of the Moon", "Tommy", and "A Night at the Opera" ?
It seems to me that there are a lot better albums out there then "Nevermind"

I don't know, I think a big reason why Nevermind is number 2 is because when it came out, it seemed to signify the return of rock 'n roll. Look what was out in the early 90s! Nirvana kinda brought some hope that REAL rock and roll was going to make a comeback, ya know?

And also, they COULDA put Pet Sounds or Dark Side of the Moon as #2...but as we all know, they MUST put a current album (well, KINDA current) somewhere near the top of the list, or the younger generation won't be interested! Then again, what do these people know??

I really don't know why Nevermind was #2, but those reasons sounded pretty good to me. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/grin.gif
