Not sure any of those albums are as good as Rumours, Aja, or Hotel California.

I don't know what y'all want from me.

I defend The Beatles on here all the time from "snobs". I'm even fond of The Beatles (White Album), but it is not their best - Abby Road, Sgt. Pepper and Let it Be are the best Beatles albums - White Album has a lot of fluff, IMHO.

Beggar's Banquet? Loaded with great singles, but doesn't have the cohesive feel that those top 3 from 1978 have.

I'll admit that JT is milquetoast, but some of the very best of the genre - I mean a lot of the folk/soft/acoustic acts had a lot to say, (Baez, Simon and Garfunkel, Mitchell), Taylor was one of the best. And JT was his best album.

Obviously, soundtracks are a unique category, but tougher to find a more seminal one than John Williams' Star Wars.

But, Hotel California, Aja and Rumours are 3 of the best "albums" of all time, period.
