What are the Greatest Albums of All Time?
Everybody loves a good list. Today, we explore one of the biggest of them all. The editors at Rolling Stone polled an array of musicians, critics, and industry figures to come up with a book called The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Nearly 300 such music experts weighed in for the poll. We explore highlights with editor Joe Levy. We also get a different perspective on the popular music canon with Jim DeRogatis, pop music critic of the Chicago Sun-Times and editor/writer of several books including "Kill Your Idols: A New Generation of Rock Writers Reconsiders the Classics."
The Greatest of Them All?
Rolling Stone editor Joe Levy and Chicago Sun-Times pop critic Jim DeRogatis discuss the greatest albums of all time.
