No Meat Loaf? No Clash? Songs in the Key of Life the number one album?? It's not even Stevie Wonder's best album (that would be Innervisions).
Rumours.. .ok. Fair enough.
Metallica??? Blech...
Freaking Zepplin? Floyd?? Awful boring ...
Van Halen?????????????? But no Green Day?

Well of course. But this was THIS guys formula-and a lot of it was based on American record sales, not taste. That's why it's fun to put the list down!

The initial group of albums selected was based solely on sales. Please know that I believe sales alone are probably the worst measure we have of an album's quality and I will speak to how I addressed this problem in a few. But as a starting point sales made the most sense. Sales are by no means the only measure of a "great album", but without big sales an album doesn't have much footing on which to claim the moniker "greatest". A vote with a dollar is a much stronger indicator than any other.
