What are the best CDs of all time?
Maybe it had great lyrics, or haunting vocals, or revolutionary melodies, but 99.99% of the world agrees it's a great CD. What are they? Pretty pictures welcomed

Not by a longshot.
If I were to say Ramones Rocket To Russia was one of the "best" albums of all time (which I believe it is) that would simply be my opinion. And quite frankly I don't really care what the rest of the world thinks. I like it. If you don't, that's just fine.
Popularity and record sales are rarely an accurate gauge when it comes to determining "greatness".

Dark Side of the Moon was on the Billboard Top 200 for like 14 years straight.
And it's one of the best albums of all time to boot!

I hate to break it to you, a lot of albums that came out since the invention of the CD have also come out on vinyl.
