I agree specifically about Rolling Stone doing that, but that's how Rolling Stone is. I mean I guess a majority of those albums were very influential and all, but there is definitely bias there.
Then again, this is the case for Pitchfork, NME, Q Magazine, etc. Pitchfork only focuses on more indie music and lesser known bands, and won't rank commercial artists well most of the time, while NME stay towards alternative music.
Meanwhile Q magazine did a similar best album ever ranking, and their top 10 had 3 Radiohead albums and 2 Oasis albums, showing their massive 90s bias.
Point being is that tastes are different, and every generation will have conflicting thoughts on the best albums ever due to the period of time they grew up in.
