My attempt to review the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums of All Time list continues! If you haven’t already, please check out the infographic summary of albums 450-500<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"So far so good. I’m just trying to enjoy the ride because, who knows, I could get bored and just stop doing this one day. Right? Anyhow, looking ahead to the next 50 records I see another varied group of music including all three Big Star albums. Again, I apologize in advance for any excessive gushing over their records, although, weirdly, I’ve never listened to their more experimental last album\u00a0Third\/Sister Lovers.\u00a0<\/em>The Clash, Dylan, U2, The Doors all make their first appearances, along with a patch of three ’60s girl group records in a row. Besides Big Star’s entire catalog, The Police, PJ Harvey, Cheap Trick, Brian Eno all show up twice each in this stretch. I don’t know if there is much rhyme or reason to the actual rankings (ie. is being ranked #335 significantly better than #489?) but sometimes it seems like-minded albums get lumped together for some reason. Or maybe that’s just a coincidence? Oh well, no big deal. I’ll just take them as they come down the pipe (or pike.)<\/p>\n

Most Looking Forward To: <\/strong>Big Star, #1 Record, Radio City, <\/em>& Third\/Sister Lovers<\/em><\/p>\n

Least Looking Forward To: <\/strong>The obvious choice would be Lil\u2019 Wayne’s\u00a0Tha Carter III<\/em>\u00a0but I bet I’m more bored with Peter Wolf’s, Sleepless
\n<\/em>
\n<\/strong>Surprise Album Candidates:\u00a0<\/strong>Lil\u2019 Wayne’s\u00a0Tha Carter III, <\/em>PJ Harvey’s Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea\u00a0<\/em>& Rid Of Me,\u00a0<\/em>Brian Eno’s Here Come the Warm Jets<\/em> & Another Green World<\/em>,\u00a0\u00a0The Go-Go\u2019s\u00a0Beauty and the Beat<\/em><\/p>\n

You can see the entire list here.<\/a><\/p>\n
