![]() A music critic, Robert of the Radish, came up with a mathmatical equation to rate albums. He used a formula based on Staying Power+Sales Value+Critical Rating+Grammy Award Value to come up with a numerical ranking for albums. He only considered American markets, and did not include "Best Of" or live recordings. Rumours ranked #13, just behind Pink Floyd's The Wall. The whole article is on yahoo's opening page.

![]() Thanks!
Great. The only real (and pleasant) surprise was, I suppose, the Beatles White album, which is a classic, obviously, but one I would not have supposed had the commercial appeal the other records did. |

![]() I think the list pretty solid. The only one that seems out of place is George Michael's Faith. But, Faith was a great record that tore up the charts.

![]() You're welcome. I probably should have posted the list in the first place, but I wasn't sure if anyone cared about another greatest albums list. I was most surprised that Led Zeppelin had 3 of the top 10 albums.
