# I 500 migliori album secondo Rolling Stone

La lista dei 500 migliori album secondo Rolling Stone è un elenco pubblicato dalla rivista specializzata statunitense Rolling Stone dal 2003 e aggiornato senza periodicità fissa.

## Prima versione

L'elenco è stato determinato attraverso la votazione effettuata da un'apposita giuria composta da 273 musicisti, critici, storici e persone dell'industria musicale, tra cui Beck, The Edge, Jackson Browne, Art Garfunkel, Missy Elliott e membri dei Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Linkin Park e Doors. Ciascun giurato poteva esprimere 50 preferenze. I risultati vennero calcolati con un sistema di punti ideato dalla Ernst & Young tra 1 600 titoli votati in totale.
I musicisti più rappresentati sono stati i Beatles (11 album), Bob Dylan (10), i Rolling Stones (10), Bruce Springsteen (8), gli Who (7), Elton John (6), David Bowie (6), i Radiohead (5), gli U2 (5), Bob Marley (5) i Led Zeppelin (5) e i Pink Floyd (4).

## Seconda versione

Nel 2012 Rolling Stone ha apportato vari cambiamenti alla lista, aggiornandola con dischi più recenti. Tra le modifiche si notano l'inclusione di tre album di Kanye West e dei dischi più recenti dei Radiohead, di Bruce Springsteen e Bob Dylan.
Sono stati rimossi in tutto 30 album e altrettanti sono stati aggiunti.
Tra le nuove entrate si segnalano gli Arcade Fire e gli Arctic Monkeys; tra i dischi esclusi, invece, la compilation ChangesOneBowie di David Bowie e Music di Madonna. L'album più vecchio tra quelli nella lista è The Anthology of American Folk Music, del 1952. Tre sono gli artisti con più album a testa: Beatles, Rolling Stones e Bob Dylan, con 10 titoli in classifica.
Nell'elenco figurano 40 album pubblicati dal 2000 al 2012, mentre quelli degli anni 1970 sono arrivati, con le nuove aggiunte, a un totale di 187.

## Terza versione

Il 22 settembre 2020 la rivista ha cambiato radicalmente la lista, focalizzandosi su artisti più moderni con 154 aggiunte, 86 delle quali del XXI secolo.
Viene modificata anche la top 10:
* What's Going On (Marvin Gaye) - 1971
* Pet Sounds (The Beach Boys) - 1966
* Blue (Joni Mitchell) - 1971
* Songs in the Key of Life (Stevie Wonder) - 1976
* Abbey Road (The Beatles) - 1969
* Nevermind (Nirvana) - 1991
* Rumours (Fleetwood Mac) - 1977
* Purple Rain (Prince and The Revolution) - 1984
* Blood on the Tracks (Bob Dylan) - 1975
* The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (Lauryn Hill) - 1998
L'album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (in precedenza sempre alla prima posizione) indietreggia al 24º posto. Inoltre sono stati esclusi tutti i dischi di Frank Zappa.
Parte degli opinionisti ha evidenziato come la revisione della lista rifletta valutazioni basate sull'impatto sociale delle canzoni oltre che sul loro valore musicale intrinseco, nonché sulla diffusione di nuove piattaforme quali Soundcloud e Spotify, ma non sono mancate le critiche di chi ritiene che la graduatoria favorisca ancora troppo la musica rock e la musica di epoche passate, seppur in misura minore rispetto alle precedenti versioni della classifica. Altre critiche hanno rimarcato come, con questa terza revisione, la musica in senso stretto sia passata in secondo piano, lasciando spazio alla denuncia sociale in un'ottica di rivalutazione storica della black music e, più in generale, della black nation statunitense, nell'epoca dell'ascesa del movimento Black Lives Matter.
