Another Top 100 Jazz Albums List

[paul secor]

I guess everything recorded before 1955 sucks too much to be on the list.

Actually, Jazz at Massey Hall (1953) did make the list, but basically you're correct. A compilation of ignorance - at least IMO.

Agreed, no Kenny G, or Norah Jones...

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

And no Willis "Gator Tail" Jackson

Oh, my heart!!!!

MG

[Swinging Swede]

No Trainwreck??

Well, whether or not the list is very "complete" (in terms of representation of various styles/eras) -- one can probably say that there's not a whole lot of crap on the list either. (Or at least a lot less than one might have expected, given the way that it was put together.)

That's true if the question was for "music you really like since you started paying attention".

It's a list of ALBUMS, so I don't understand the point of this objection.

One of my first five albums was by Armstrong's Hot Five.

I'm guessing that in Rateyourmusic's methodology, that would count as a compilation.

I think Miles said (in his autobiography?) that On the Corner was not a jazz album and that it was not geared towards that type of audience.
