Though a little outdated (created in 2003) and “weighted toward testosterone-fueled vintage rock,” Rolling Stone Magazine’s list of top 500 albums is a great start in documenting the Anglo-American music canon.

In line with our goal to make Genius the ultimate companion to music, we’re leveraging this list to catalogue the lyrics and annotations for all these albums. As is the case with most things on Genius, this page is constantly evolving and improving.

Phase one of this project is identifying which albums are already complete on Genius and annotating them with a full tracklist with links.

If you’re part of the Genius community or want to help with this project, you can start by creating annotations in this text. Use this annotation as a model. To get the full tracklist with links, you can paste the album page URL into this tool that user @simivar created. You’ll have to change the numbers since they’ll be a little off. Hit me up if you have any questions.
