Rolling Stone published its list of the 100 greatest LPs in 1987... the 200 in 1997... the 500 in 2003... revised in 2012... and LAST YEAR came the biggest revision yet.

**Someone finally realized that Phil Spector's Christmas album is included within the Back to Mono boxed set... so no need to include them both!
**AC/DC - Back in Black... aka half of corporate classic rock radio's playlist. They need to stop including this, please
**Bob Dylan - Love and Theft: it's enough already, RS! No one cares about anything after "Blood On the Tracks"
**Fiona Apple has three albums (Extraordinary Machine, The Idler Wheel, When the Pawn) but not Tidal? Isn't that her best one?
**Fleetwood Mac's Rumours made the list, but not their self-titled album right before that, nor Then Play On
**Frank Sinatra: In the Wee Small Hours... but not "Songs For Swingin' Lovers"? Or they could have just included one of the anthologies of his Capitol years
**Isaac Hayes, Hot Buttered Soul... but not Shaft?
**Joni Mitchell has several albums... but why the decent-yet-unexciting The Hissing of Summer Lawns
**Madonna: Ray of Light (lame) but not Like a Virgin? What?
**Paul McCartney: Ram, but not Band On the Run? Or how about Wingspan (which includes generous doses of both)? I still love Ram, though, so it's fine
**Beach Boys: Wild Honey... BORING. They also included Brian Wilson's solo version of Smile. WHAT?!
**Beatles: the big controversy is that they've been downgraded on this list in general. But the oddest thing to is that their first UK album, Please Please Me (aka Early Beatles in the US) is absent. It's usually considered one of their best... it's got Love Me Do, Please Please Me, Boys, I Saw Her Standing There, Twist & Shout... would have been nice to include that instead of...
**Sly & The Family Stone, Stand!... it's a great album, but most of it is already on Greatest Hits (which is also on the list)
**Yes: Close to the Edge... I always thought The Yes Album was better, or even Fragile
**Richard & Linda Thompson, I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight... I never understood why critics peed their pants over this. Speaking of which:
**Kanye and Neil Young have the same number of entries
**Springsteen's classic run from "The Wild, The Innocent" through "Born In the USA" remains... except for "The River." Odd.
**Steely Dan: Pretzel Logic has been removed but Aja and Can't Buy a Thrill still made the cut
And now, some deletions since 2003:
-Moby Grape (121 in 2003), the 1952 Anthology Of American Folk Music (#276 in 2003), The Carpenters' lone entry from 2003 ("Close to You"), Frank Zappa (Freak Out was 243, We're Only In It For The Money was 296), plus Barry White, Jane's Addiction, No Doubt, The O'Jays, Mamas & the Papas, Soundgarden, Jethro Tull, Yardbirds, Meat Loaf, Moby, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Labelle, Mott the Hoople, Graham Parker, Jackson Browne, John Lee Hooker, Bjork, Def Leppard, ZZ Top, Jackie Wilson, Neil Diamond, Paul Butterfield, Cheap Trick, Gram Parsons, The Pogues, War, Alice Cooper, EPMD, The Drifters, Echo & the Bunnymen, Steve Earle, Albert King, Eurythmics, Buffalo Springfield, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Little Walter, Bobby Bland, Professor Longhair, Buena Vista Social Club, Blood, Sweat & Tears
-And even though they weren't on the 2003 list... I'm surprised the Black Keys didn't make it this time
