Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Top 20 Albums
This is taken from the “Definitive 200” located here. The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper tops the list. Also, Purple Rain is on here at number 16. With Prince’s resurgence from the Super Bowl, this album is definitely on many peoples’ shopping list. Also, that album is actually a soundtrack from his movie.
At one time or another I had just about every one of these albums. I have lost most of them in moves, car break-ins and breakups with girlfriends.

This is a pretty bad list. According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there have only been 49 bands who have put out albums that were better than a Dixie Chicks album. I’m confused.
