Rolling Stone's Top 50 albums of 2012..how many do you own?

Is there a one-page list of this? I ain't clicking through 50 choices.
 
I don't know about anyone else but I haven't been able to get through Wrecking Ball even once since I bought it.

-- Yeah, that's what music is all 'bout; different for most folks. :b

* By the way, I hate this CD as well; probably the worst one from 'The Boss'. :b

** Rolling Stones, do you know who are the editors, owners and writers of this mag, in the year 2012?

Excellent list, and I own more than a few. But I am more than a little confused..many of these WERE on the RS Top 50 list.

BTW, where's Van Morrison? ...And Bob Dylan?

Weren't a bunch of those on the Rolling Stone list, as well? FWIW, I have 17 of the recordings above. Some are very good, musically. Others, not so much. And so it goes....
 
Yeh, I am trying to figure out what Daytona600 is smoking...

And, with Melody Gardot on the list. I bought the LP. It's the musical equivalent of Fluffernutter. A saucer of warm milk. How that buttresses an assertion revolving around RS critics being old is beyond me.
 
-- He simply agrees with some of them already selected selections. :b

* Melody Gardot - 'The Absence'; not so shure about that one. ;)

EDIT: I did not see the above post before I posted this.
So, you (Felix) and I, right now are on the same wavelength.
