The Greatest Albums of All Time...

A jazz list without Charlie Parker?

And a forward thinking list would include Allan Holdsworth (probably Metal Fatigue) in jazz - certainly the most influential guitarist since Wes Montgomery, and arguably the modern Charlie Parker...

Since there doesn't seem to be a rule about listing an artist twice, the Beatles should have taken at least two spots based on the criteria...
 
It's top X lists once again. I like some of the selections. Glenn Gould Goldberg variations, Louis Armstrong Hot 5 and 7, Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson. Missing from jazz is anything from the 1930s and '40s, no Lester Young, Roy Eldridge, Sidney Bechet, and even bigger, no Charlie Parker. The blues selections are good except that there's only one selection from before WWII. Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and quite a few more. The folk list contains 2 albums I would consider folk, the Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez. There are some good records on the best of the list but it's almost all singer/songwriter music with folk influences. Oh well, like I said, it's top X lists.
 
Fun idea to ask AI and thanks goes to the op! Gives me inspiration to check out the ones that I am not familiar with yet

I wont name specific CDs but there are outstanding selections from these famous bands many in the RnR HOF. You should also find a place for the Velvet Underground's " Velvet Underground and Nico" and Big Star " #1 Record/ Radio City" somewhere on your lists, 2 of the most influential albums of all time.
