agreed, and what sets that list apart from others is the analysis of each disc, and it's influences on next generation artists, too many lists seem to be some random rock critics atempt to assemble the pretentious sounding collection with little or no justification
Very, very interesting list. Love the "Without this" blurbs.
when i used to subscribe to CMJ magazine, the album reviews were always followed by a section called RIYL (recommended if you like)
very handy for some music that defies catagorization
Not necessarily my favorite, but right up there.
Also worth mentioning...
As well as....
Gus...I gotta agree...right up there

Yo Agent Cooper, you listen to any of Badalamenti's soundtracks? I am partial to the Twin Peaks soundtrack, and that odd genre of horror jazz.
You're all expecting me to say something about Nugent not being on that list, but I'm not going to. While he had some good albums, none of them were all that great, with the possible exception of Double Live Gonzo and one you've never heard of, Craveman.
What I will say about that list, is that any list that puts the Spice Girls on a pedastal and doesn't mention Vanhalen 1 is not a list I will seriously consider.
I've just "rediscovered" Maxwell's "Embrya". It truly is one of my favorites. I'm so sorry he's done a disappearing act because he was one of the few relatively new artists that caught my attention in the last several years. But we haven't heard a peep out of him.
