Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" is a 2003 special issue of American magazine Rolling Stone, and a related book published in 2005.[1] The lists presented were compiled based on votes from selected rock musicians, critics, and industry figures, and predominantly feature British and American music from the 1960s and 1970s. From 2007 onwards, the magazine published similarly titled lists in other countries around the world. In 2012, Rolling Stone published a revised edition of the list drawing on the original and a later survey of albums in the 2000s.[2] It was made available in "bookazine" format on newsstands in the US from April 27 to July 25. The new list contained 38 albums not present in the previous one, 16 of them released after 2003. Background[edit] The first version of the list, published as a magazine in November 2003, was based on the votes of 273 rock musicians, critics, and industry figures, each of whom submitted a weighted list of 50 albums.

A review of Keith Richards autobiography — Plutopia News Network. Keith Richards & James Fox-”Life” 576 pgs. Publisher: Little, Brown and Company In true outlaw fashion the story of Keith Richards’ Life begins not with his birth but with details of a close brush with the law in Arkansas during the Stones 1975 American tour. “Every copper wanted to bust us by any means available, to get promoted and patriotically rid America of these fairy little Englishmen. “ In those opening sentences Richards comes across more a James Cagneyesque public enemy #1 than the millionaire jet set rock star of the “World’s Greatest Rock n Roll Band.”
In the same way he reels off barbed wire riffs in the best Stones songs, Richards repeatedly reminds us that he is the badass rock n roll outlaw — the baddest “mofo” on the block. Unfortunately, Life is rife with empty acts or examples of Richards’ machismo. Sometimes when reading Life, you feel like you’re reading a grittier, less acid-tinged, film noir version of Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas. Casino Boogie ~ The Rolling Stones.
