The Beatles albums are top because the Beatles wrote almost only hits and they perfected or mastered every music style. Michael Jackson was not such a talented composer neither was he so versatile. But he was also a dancer.

The White Album. - The Beatles. (1968).
I wonder has the compiler of this list ever heard this album. Considering they have ' Please please me', on the list, possibly ' The Beatles' weakest album.

Thriller - great album! This is the perfect pop album, actually. Anyone who denies this, too discriminate against Jackson.
With songs Billie Jean and Beat it any album will be a priori good.
But, saying all of this .... This is not my favorite album in the discography of MJ, not even in the top 3.

Thriller is famous for its videos, but not for the music. This is mostly noise. Modern art but destructive art. I think of the video Thriller, demonic nonsense for bad children. Maybe I am too hard, but I fear I am not. The many votes show the doubtful taste of the people. That`s it

Off the wall, Thriller, Bad and Dangerous are great albums. It`s not an opinion, it`s a FACT!!!
HIStory is good.
Invncible...not good, the only weak album in MJ`s discography (1979-2001).

The greatest album in history - it is subjective. It all depends on taste.

This albun is not ggod, it is bad. Michael Jackson is grossly overrated. Very talented. But merchandised, a child of the age. This age only. In future times they will watch his videos bewildered and amused.

This album along with the others of Michael Jackson will not be among the top 100 in 20 Years. There is nothing that will last. It is just fashion and he has a lot fans who are like he himself. A phenomenon of time that will pass away quickly...

The album sold 20 million shares and holds 70th place in the list of best selling albums of all time. To say that the album is unknown, ignorant, at least.
Songs like "Earth Song" and "They do not care about us" knows absolutely any music fan.

Just checked out two of the more respected music magazines ' Best Albuums Of All Time' lists.Rolling Stone and New Musical Express (NME). In RS 'Rumours' is placed at 25, while 'Hotel California is at 37. In NME 'Rumours' is at 29 and 'Hotel' is at 100. I have yet to find a list online that both of these albums (which I agree are great albums) are in the Top 20. I guess it is down to one's own view.
Added 2 years ago by Albert Hand, 0 points
I never said that these were not great albums (as a matter of fact I have 3 of them), I just don't believe that they are the best albums ever above some of the greatest music ever made, but I guess that's the trouble with democracy, the majority are always right, even when they're wrong.
Added 2 years ago by Albert Hand, 0 points
All of the critical reviews that I've ever read, and they are legion, have always ranked "Rumours" as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. I don't understand your comment, Albert Hand. I understand your frustration that some of the other greatest albums are not on top, but everyone can't be #1 in a voting environment.
Added 2 years ago by tboneya, 0 points
Unfortunately this list has lost all credability,if the first four albums are the best of all time. Remember favorite does not mean best,so the critics and the experts must be all wrong. I doubt it.

Nothing personal, but this list reads like someone's personal favorites instead of the 100 best of all time. There's just one Elvis disk but a slew from trendy artists like Beck, Mary J. Blige, Public Enemy, Moby, ad nauseum. I hope many others will visit and add classics from, say, the 1950's through 2000. I doubt that any album released less than 10 years ago can meet the test of 'all time' greatest. Let the voting, and re-voting, begin.
