I know the rolling stone list gets a lot of flack, but last time I read the contributors to their top 500 lists, it does have about 200 musicians/music journalists/record company peeps doing the list. To say their opinion isn't at least kind of credible is kind of like saying a journal of medicine is less credible than Wikipedia.

But there is an argument for some form of nepotism going on.

Definitely this site. The consensus is here. Why trust one person when you can ask everyone at the same time and instantly see the list of albums most often referred to?
