Description: The first version of the list, published as a magazine in November 2003, was based on the votes of 273 rock musicians, critics, and industry figures, each of whom submitted a ranked list of 50 albums. The accounting firm Ernst & Young devised a point system to weigh votes for 1,600 submitted titles.The Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band topped the list, with Rolling Stone's editors describing it as "the most important rock 'n' roll album ever made".[5] The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (1966) was ranked second in recognition of its influence on Sgt. Pepper.The list also included compilations and "greatest hits" collections. An amended list was released as a book in 2005, with an introduction by guitarist Steven Van Zandt. Some compilation albums were removed, and Robert Johnson's The Complete Recordings was substituted for both of his King of the Delta Blues Singers volumes, making room for a total of eight new entries on the list. If requested, a free [value added] flash drive with BBC radio shows about various folk & rock groups [some jazz] will be sent. The Beatles section alone has over 100 hours of deep dive shows. Intrigued? Just ask for it and I will send one with your order.
