Rolling Stone's 500 Worst Reviews of All Time

You can't erase or rewrite history, especially when it comes to record reviews. Some of Rolling Stone's greatest (or should that be worst) are currently being collated.
Sample gems include:
Hendrix: Are you experienced ~ "The poor quality of the songs, and the inanity of the lyrics, too often get in the way."
Byrds: Sweethearts of the rodeo ~ "It's really very uninvolved and not a difficult record to listen to."
Love: Forever changes ~ "It's weakest point is in the material. Some songs meander and lack real melodic substance."
Of course all 3 of those records went on to make Rolling Stone's 500 greatest records ever made list. Like I said, you can't rewrite history.
