With Rolling Stone Magazine updating their Top 500 albums of all time, I figured since most of us don't exactly agree with lists, we could take a look at their Top 10 and establish the true best album of all-time.

So here we are in ROUND 3 to determine the BEST album in the Rolling Stone Top 10.

You are going to pick the album that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove another two (2) songs with the most votes. We will then move on to the Semi-Finals.
 
Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 10 Albums of ALL-TIME
1. Marvin Gaye, 'What's Going On'
2. The Beach Boys, 'Pet Sounds'
3. Joni Mitchell, 'Blue' (ELIMINATED - ROUND 1)
4. Stevie Wonder, 'Songs in the Key of Life'
5. The Beatles, 'Abbey Road'
6. Nirvana, 'Nevermind'
7. Fleetwood Mac, 'Rumours' (ELIMINATED - ROUND 2)
8. Prince and the Revolution, 'Purple Rain' (ELIMINATED - ROUND 2)
9. Bob Dylan, 'Blood on the Tracks'
10. Lauryn Hill, 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' (ELIMINATED - ROUND 1)

    I think that the roadblock to this could be that so many people prefer other The Beatles records to Abbey Road.

    Go ahead and eviscerate me, but I just have never been able to stand the majority of Dylan's music. Influence aside, I don't like his music. If I had to listen to Blood on the Tracks straight through, there would indeed be blood coming from my ears.

    I am not really a huge Dylan fan, but BOTT is by far my favorite record of his.

    The Beatles, 'Abbey Road'
    I'm still going with Abbey Road, because I don't believe it's the Beatles top album.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    I'm right there with you on Dylan.

    If I could Vote for 2 at a time, I'd Vote for that also.

    Spread around, this time.

    My old man would come out of his grave and punch me if I voted for Pet Sounds.

    All I know is “Idiot Wind” is epic, Dylan’s music grows on me by the day, and Joni Mitchell is way underrated.

    Maybe, but it's still a masterpiece!  Think about the tracks on that song, some of them are the most underrated Beatles songs.  Sun King, Something, Because...and then the run from She Came in Through the Bathroom Window to The End is better than 90% of most bands' entire outputs.

    And then there's the epic I Want You. I absolutely love that song.

    Time to say "bye bye" to Nevamind.
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    I agree, great album, but doesn't belong with this company.
