LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Albums by the Velvet Underground, the Rolling Stones and James Brown lead a list of the 50 "coolest records" featured in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

Compiled by the magazine's staff, the list is headed by "White Light/White Heat," the 1968 release from the Velvet Underground, the grim art-rock band beloved by critics if not by the record-buying masses. The album's highlight was the psychedelic opus "Sister Ray" -- "seventeen minutes of guitars screaming in ecstasy," Rolling Stone opined.

Second spot went to the U.S. version of the Rolling Stones' "Aftermath," the 1966 release that marked the first album written solely by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. "Blues-rock flower power, but all the flowers are painted black," the magazine said.

So-called "Godfather of Soul" James Brown's 1968 release "Live at the Apollo" came in third thanks to "the most explosive cold-sweat funk grooves ever recorded."

Other entries included the Beatles' "Revolver" at No. 10, David Bowie's "Station to Station" at No. 21, Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" at No. 31, Merle Haggard's "Songs I'll Always Sing" at No. 42 and Madonna's "You Can Dance" remix album at No. 50.

nankerphelge Hasn't Rolling Stone got anything better to do than tell us what is cool? We've all known that Aftermath is a gem for years -- thank god the cognoscente at Rolling Stone have finally validated our thinking.
