Rolling Stone doesn't give out many 5-Star albums. They only gave 3(!) albums 5-Stars in the 90's - Slanted & Enchanted, Automatic for the People, and Metallica's black album. And they haven't gotten much better. Here's a complete list of the albums Rolling Stone has deigned with perfection. It's ridiculous of them to refuse to stick out their necks at all when reviewing their albums, and it really shows how safe they play it when they hand out 5-Stars to reissues. Their lack of ANY 5-Star hip-hop albums from the 90s has got to be the most egregious fail of a music magazine of all-time. I was going to list albums that should have been obviously given 5-Stars but I've lost my enthusiasm for this subject so I'll just say Illmatic and OK Computer and wonder how Mick Jagger's 2001 solo album Goddess In The Doorway snuck onto their list.
