NEW YORK Time magazine music critics have come up with a list of the 100 greatest and most influential albums of all time. The Beatles have five albums on the list, more than any other group: "Sergeant Pepper," "Abbey Road," "The White Album," "Revolver" and "Rubber Soul." The albums are in no particular order. Bob Dylan leads all male artists with three. Aretha Franklin leads the women with two. Elvis is in there. So is Eminem, Kanye West, Radiohead, The Stones, Michael Jackson, even The Plastic Ono Band. But no Pink Floyd. Not even their classic "Dark Side of the Moon," one of the best-selling albums ever. http://www.wwaytv3.com/Global/story.asp?S=...mp;nav=menu70_3

Thriller YEAR RELEASED: 1982 LABEL: Sony ARTIST: Michael Jackson How good is Thriller? Put it on right now and you'll be amazed at how easily the most frightening public image of the late 20th century melts away. Michael Jackson was 24 when he released what was to become the best-selling album of all-time (until it was eclipsed in the late 90s by The Eagles Greatest Hits, 1971-1975) and there's no whining about celebrity, no messiah complex, just nine immensely catchy tracks, seven of which went Top 10. The Quincy Jones-produced hooks remain awe-inspiring, and while Jackson had few ambitions beyond global domination, it's worth noting that "The Girl is Mine" made interracial love pop and Eddie Van Halen's "Beat It" guitar solo bridged arena rock and soul four years before Run DMC met Aerosmith. http://www.time.com/time/2006/100albums/0,27693,Thriller,00.html
