Exactly!
Rolling Stone published this as a way to sell copies of itself, and to reinforce its credentials as the "definitive" journal of R&R. :p Their list could qualify as a roster of albums that might be the most popular, or that might have been big sellers of their era. But we, as individuals, determine the "best" (and worst) in music. No one can substitute for our taste, our feelings, our likes/dislikes.

Speaking for myself, the album I've listened to most often is Hendrix's "Axis: Bold as Love." Does that make it the "best" album of all time? I dunno. I liked a lot of the albums in the supposed "Top Twenty," especially "Rubber Soul," "Revolver," "Abbey Road," "Astral Weeks," "London Calling" and "Highway 61 Revisted." I also listened a lot to "The Doors," "In Search of the Lost Chord" (Moodies), "Stonedhenge" (Ten Years After); "Live at Leeds," "Quadrophenia," "Odds and Sods," and "Who's Next" (The Who); "Electric Ladyland," "Hendrix in the West," "The Concerts," "Hendrix Blues," "Band of Gypsies" and "Stages" (Hendrix); and "Let it Bleed," "High Tide and Green Grass," "Get Yer Ya-Yas Out," "Love You Live" and "Sticky Fingers" (Stones). Are these the "Top" albums of all time? I dunno--but I liked them.
Today I listen to Leontyne Price, Jussi Bjoerling, Anna Moffo, Joan Sutherland, Giuseppe DiStefano, Mirella Freni, Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Renata Tebaldi. Are they the greatest singers of all time? I dunno--but I like them.
