DEFINITIVE DEBATE

All lists are debatable, and that includes the Definitive 200.

It's described as "a list of 200 ranked albums that every music lover should own," as determined by music retailers.

What did or did not make the list -- developed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- is just as disturbing as where certain albums ranked.

The first jazz entry is Miles Davis' Kind of Blue at No. 34. The second jazz album on the list is John Coltrane's A Love Supreme at No. 78, then you have to go to the second half of the list to find the other two jazz entries: the Dave Brubeck Quartet's Time Out (No. 150) and George Benson's Breezin' (No. 177).

The first Elvis Presley album to make it is 2004's Elvis at Sun, which placed at No. 53. But for whatever reason, his landmark self-titled debut from 1956 checks in at No. 147.

There's only one Frank Sinatra album and nothing at all by George Jones, Hank Williams, Tony Bennett, James Brown, B.B. King, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Byrds, Ray Charles or Sly and the Family Stone, just to name a few.

Among the head-scratching inclusions: Jewel's Pieces of You (No. 64), Matchbox Twenty's Yourself or Someone Like You (No. 91), Nelly's Country Grammar (No. 94), Will Smith's Big Willie Style (No. 154) and Avril Lavigne's Let Go (No. 162).

For the record, the Top 10 (in order) is The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Led Zeppelin's fourth album, U2's The Joshua Tree, The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street, Carole King's Tapestry, Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited, The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and Nirvana's Nevermind.
