A few months ago, Rolling Stone magazine updated their list of the top 500 albums of all-time. Listed here is the top 40.

This, from the Rolling Stone website, explains how it was compiled.

Rolling Stone‘s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time was originally published in 2003, with a slight update in 2012. Over the years, it’s been the most widely read — and argued over — feature in the history of the magazine (last year, the RS 500 got over 63 million views on the site). But no list is definitive — tastes change, new genres emerge, the history of music keeps being rewritten. So we decided to remake our greatest albums list from scratch. To do so, we received and tabulated Top 50 Albums lists from more than 300 artists, producers, critics, and music-industry figures.

After last week’s list of the top 25 best-selling albums by solo acts, here is a list of the top 25 by group. This list does not include any soundtracks, that’s for another day.
