There is no such thing as a purely objective list when it comes to such things as "best rock band" or "best movie" and so forth. I suppose that's the way it should be, but there have been several decent attempts, using various criteria, at creating a "Top 100" list of one sort or another.
Here is one such attempt: AVRev.com's Top 100 Rock Albums of All Time. It's not a bad list, despite some oddities (Michael Jackson's Bad being on the list at all, U2's Zooropa instead of War, for instance). However, a few quibbles aside, it's a fair list, as these go.
Led Zeppelin gets the award for the most representation on the list, but Peter Gabriel also does well. I was happy to see a good showing by progressive rock bands (Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson and Rush) because that genre gets overlooked sometimes (I know Floyd doesn't, but they're exceptional).
Tell me what you think.
