TIME Magazine’s “list of the greatest and most influential records ever” (9:36 am)

No Pink Floyd. No Louis Armstrong. No Duke Ellington. No Crosby Stills & Nash. No Nat King Cole. No Frank Zappa. No Barbra Streisand. No Cream. No Janis Joplin. No Queen. No Roy Orbison. No Billy Holiday, No Buddy Holly. Nothing from before 1954 (No Paul Whiteman, no George Gershwin, no Cole Porter).

No Ella Fitzgerald, no Doors, no Steely Dan, no Elvis Costello—but Hole and DJ Shadow?!? No classical, no Latin, no musical or movie soundtracks ("West Side Story,” perhaps?). Worst such list I’ve ever seen.
