Greendale Stands the Test of Time

A great album functions as a self-contained universe. USATODAY.com's music critic Edna Gundersen salutes 40 albums that stand as cohesive bodies of work - not just fine collections of songs - that will stand the test of time.

The list includes such classics as The Beatles, Revolver (1966), The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds (1966), Jimi Hendrix, Are You Experienced? (1967), and The Who, The Who Sell Out (1967).

The number 40 selection is Neil Young's Greendale (2003). "The latest in Young's long series of daring concept albums spins a cinematic yarn about a small-town family coping with a murder."
