The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper' Album Plummeted in the Latest Rolling Stone Poll

If you’re shut out by the paywall, know that things are happening behind the digital façade of Rolling Stone. For starters, the outlet released its new “500 Greatest Albums” list on Sept. 22, 2020. While it still includes a Bob Marley greatest-hits album, fans of The Beatles and other classic acts might notice the biggest changes.

That’s one way to look at the latest version of the mammoth undertaking Rolling Stone first attempted in 2003. The headline could also be something like “Rolling Stone Discovers Rap.” After only one hip-hop artist laid claim to a top-50 record in ’03, nine albums made the inner circle in ’20.

Undoubtedly, the choices of the 300 musicians, critics, producers, and industry folks who voted in the poll will ruffle the feathers of many Rolling Stone readers. (That Kanye album is better than Led Zeppelin IV? Station to Station comes in ahead of Paid in Full? OK!)
