So, the list begins like this-

1. Revolver, by the Beatles

2. Nevermind, by Nirvana

3. Pet Sounds, by the Beach Boys

Interesting that Pet Sounds is #3, since when he was asked, John Lennon said that Pet Sounds was the greatest album ever recorded!

I won’t even comment on the Nirvana album’s placement…
