From Rolling Stone, the definitive and spectacular companion book to one of the most popular and hotly debated lists in the music world.

This beautiful coffee table book is sure to pull in music fans and spark conversations, and is a joy to leaf through again and again.

In partnership with Abrams, Rolling Stone has created an oversize companion book to celebrate the updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, telling the stories behind every album through incredible Rolling Stone photography, original album art, the magazine’s unique critical commentary, breakout pieces on the making of key albums, and archival interviews.

This anthology is based on Rolling Stone’s 2020 reboot of the original 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, launched in 2003 and last updated in 2012, polling the industry’s most celebrated artists, producers, executives, and journalists to create the ranking.

The voters include both classic and contemporary artists, including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish; rising artists like H.E.R., Tierra Whack, and Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail; as well as veteran musicians such as Adam Clayton and the Edge of U2, Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan, Gene Simmons, and Stevie Nicks.

The book is boldly designed, includes hundreds of color images, and is packed with surprises and insights for music fans of all ages.
