Two other Beatles albums, as well as five by the Rolling Stones and five by Bruce Springsteen, are among the top 100 voted on by 17 Rolling Stone writers for the upcoming Aug. 27 edition. The Sex Pistols rated No. 2 with “Never Mind the Bollocks Here’s the Sex Pistols”; the Stones’ “Exile on Main Street” grabbed No. 3; John Lennon’s “Plastic Ono Band” came in fourth, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience closed out the top five with “Are You Experienced?” “Electric Warrior” by glam-rocker T. Rex rounds out the list at No. 100.
