역사상 최고의 팝 앨범은 무엇일까?
야후 뮤직 블로그가 선정한 최고 앨범 20선(Top 20 Albums of All Time)을 보면 1위는 흑인가수 스티비 원더가 지난 76년 내놓은 '송스 인 더 키 오브 라이프'(Songs In The Key Of Life)가 선정되었다.
이번에 선정된 20장의 베스트 앨범들은 미국시장을 기반으로 하고 선정됐으며, '베스트 히트' 앨범(Greatest Hits)이나 라이브 앨범은 기준에 포함되지 않았다. 선정기준은 앨범이 순위에 머문 기간, 판매량, 비평가의 평가, 그래미 시상식 결과 등을 종합해서 평가했다.
내가 좋아하는 Led Zeppelin은 Physical Graffiti, Led Zeppelin IV, Led Zeppelin I, Houses Of The Holy 등 4장이나 선정되는 영광을 안았다.
