What’s the No. 1 Definitive Album of all time?
The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” at least according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Association of Recording Manufacturers, which have released their “Definitive 200.”
Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” comes in at No. 2 and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” at No. 3. No surprise there.
But you might be tempted to start laughing when you find Shania Twain’s “Come On Over” ranked No. 21. Keep reading to see which Boston boys made the cut: The band Boston’s “Boston” is No. 43 and Aerosmith’s “Toys In the Attic” No. 54, which puts them both ahead of Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In the U.S.A. (No. 56) and John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” (No. 78).
The final local entry, The Cars’ self-titled debut, lands at No. 131. But don’t feel too proud. Kenny G., Creed and Nelly also made the cut.
