awesome! its great that nirvana is right next to people like jimi hendrix and the beatles!!!!!

Often disregarded due to their immature nature and on-stage antics, blink-182’s self-titled album is their best work and a great album to sound off on…

Although I’m still waiting for a reunion… hint, hint.

What?!?! Soup by Blind Melon? Sure they’re back together now, but it was Shannon Hoon’s last album and it’s amazing one at that. Come on guys.

The Final Cut should hardly be celebrated.

Queen’s “Innuendo” should be in there somewhere…

Not to quibble….but LA WOMAN was not the Doors final album. Morrison wasn’t even cold yet when the surviving Doors released OTHER VOICES in October 1971. The following spring they released FULL CIRCLE. After these two flops, they spent the rest of their careers picking the dead bones of The Lizard King.

Hey Steve, Soundgarden’s “Down on the Upside” was indeed a great final album worthy of the top ten. The Zombies? You seem like the type.

You’ll get no argument from me concerning “Abbey Road”.39 years later the album is still a shining testament to the magic of the Beatles,especially when you consider how they took up George Martin’s challenge to make one last great album “like they used to”.Despite the acrimony between the band members,they pulled it off(even if they fell short of working together like they did in past days by writing and recording in the same room,etc).My “last” list would also have to include Cream’s “Goodbye”,Pink Floyd’s “The Final Cut”and The Doors “L.A. Woman”,to name just a few.

All too often credit is given to the flavor of the year and put into categories where they don’t belong. Good to see a list from rolling stone that doesn’t include the white stripes or something comparable

Why include Jeff Buckley? Grace is a debut and shouldn’t count as a “final album”. Just an opinion. But the guy had so much talent! Who knows what he would’ve released had he lived. Grace was only the beginning. It’s a thing of beauty though. That’s for sure.

Wheels of Fire

Somehow I disagree with including albums from people who died really prematurely — does being cut short in one’s prime give a slightly unfair advantage (yes, I see the irony)? It doesn’t reward longevity.

More difficult would be a new list for artists who recorded at least five albums? Either way, that Soundgarden smudge wouldn’t make my list. Otis Redding, Tribe Called Quest, Elliott Smith, Porter Wagoner, The Zombies. CCR juuuust miss it. Free pass for Mardi Gras?
