| - Many publications and organizations have tried to determine the album considered the greatest ever. The ten albums listed in this article have all have been frequently cited as among the greatest albums of all time by several publications and notable surveys, be it a popular poll or critics' poll. None of these citations should be viewed as scientific. Many of these sources focus on American albums or were polls of English-speaking listeners. Most implicitly consider only currently popular genres, with classical music, opera, jazz, and other categories given short shrift. USA Today noted that Rolling Stone magazine's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time "is weighted toward testosterone-fueled vintage rock", with only a "smattering of country (Johnny Cash), jazz (Miles Davis) and seminal blues (Howlin' Wolf)." There are often problems with vote stacking or skewed demographics; Internet-based surveys have a self-selecting audience. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. Sometimes voters were asked to select albums from a limited list of entries. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) by The Beatles is the canonical example of what is typically cited as the best album of all time. It was ranked number one by Rolling Stone, The Definitive 200 by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers, and others.
