rolling stone's "50 coolest albums of all time", all in one easy-to-digest list, instead of the one-album-at-a-time format on the official website. (i own four: 5, 27, 32, and 47.) they also have an uncoolest list (reproduced below). i've got three albums from that list: 14, 37, and 50. (one is the blue öyster cult's secret treaties, which is on both lists. i also used to own cinderella's long cold winter, but it got stolen from my dorm room many years ago.)
