Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest albums of all time in Spotify

In September 2020 Rolling Stone magazine published a list with the 500 greatest albums of all time. The list was created by artists, producers, critics, and people from the music industry.

On a lazy afternoon I made a script that creates a sortable list of these albums with links to Spotify. This is the only list you need if you want to explore new music. Sorry, I meant old music of course. There’s a histogram of release years at the bottom. The albums are predominantly from a few decades ago.

Thanks to the developers of spotipy. Enjoy!
