The 500 Greatest albums of all time, according to Rolling Stone Magazine

I'm on a mission to listen to the 500 albums on the list ! You can find the list here (I started to do this in 2025 and i don't intend to start over if a new list is released ). So far I listened to 9 albums.

Quick disclaimer : I mostly listen to theses when i'm working, so ignore the fact that i don't have particulary intersting thoughts on the albums.

500. Funeral

Arcade Fire (2004)

It's sad and there is noise and obscure lyrics. There was a bit to much noise to my liking, but i really enjoyed the gloomyness of it all, the emotions, and the lyrics. The title are funny, but it took me a few listen to really enjoy what's happening. I liked the guitar.

Favorite songs of the album :
  • Neighborhood #4(7 Kettles)
  • Rebellions (Lies)

499. Ask Rufus

Rufus and Chaka Khan (1977)

Way more fun than the last one ! Are we gonna get up and dance ? maybe i was mostly hype because I had just finished listening to the first one and it was not the same vibe at all. Still, the songs were catchy, and I had a good time listening.

Favorite songs of the album :

  • Hollywood
  • Better days

498. Suicide

Suicide (1977)

I did NOT enjoy this one. It was promissing at first, but the guy kept whispering in a raspy voice and moaning loudly (in my headphones, thankfuly). He moaned for several minutes. I do not recommand this while working. It was too much for me and I couldn't enjoy it, I'm sorry

Favorite songs of the album :

  • Rocket USA

497.The Indestructible beat of Soweto

Various Artists (1985)

I feel like the list keeps oscillating between fun and weird. this one is cool, i like the rythm. the robotic voices were unexpected but a fun addition.

Favorite songs of the album :

  • Qhude Manikiniki
  • Indoda Yejazi Elimnyama

496.Donde estan los ladrones

Shakira (1998)

I started to listen to this album with an opinion about myself : I don't like Shakira. I think I had premade ideas about what she sounded like, but I was delightly surprised. It is still not my type of music tho

Favorite songs of the album :

  • Octavo dia
