The problem is that it's ambiguous. "Best at the time of release" or "of greatest historical importance/influence" are valid criteria for comparison. So is "just plain best, put side by side, nevermind release date". What's not valid is randomly mixing the different criteria in the same list; unfortunately every last one of these lists does exactly that. -- "Always look on the bright side of life."
