Vs (the 2nd pearl jam album) is actually a much deeper and longer lasting record than 10 (Im not referring to the duration of the album itself)

As cheesy as this may sound too, the first Maroon 5 record is a great guilty pleasure and has some of the best pop rock music in the last 20 years.

Nice effort guys but you need to expand past 1993. Contrary to every news story where you write about how high-res surround sound music is going to save the music industry, perhaps if closed minded older music fans would be willing to really listen to what is going on, you'd find some killer "new" music.

The bands you've mentioned might have some good stuff in their own rite, but they won't bear the test of time like the albums on the list have done. Shear staying power plays a huge factor. Remember Duran Duran? They were supposed to be the next Beatles.....Where are they now?

Duran Duran as the next Beatles is a STRETCH!!!!

Rio is a great album. I think Duran Duran is underrated overall. I love the production on Rio. I think the performance is there and for 80's music - it still sounds pretty fresh to me.

Here is my top ten list:

1. YES - Close to the Edge
2. Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsies
3. The Beatles - Let it Be
4. Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
5. The Beatles - Abbey Road
6. King Crimson - Red
7. The Who - Quadrophenia
8. Jethro Tull - Benefit
9. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
10. King's X - Gretchen Goes to Nebraska

Agree, RIO is great and it belongs on the list. When I saw it there at #41, however, I thought it was ranked too high.
