I agree. All in all this is a pretty damn good list. And, I proably wouldn't have made that comparison had people not already mentioned NME. That just took my brain in another direction...

I thought this thread might bring you in here. Haven't seen you in this forum in a while!

Jeff Buckley shouldn't be way up at 82!

SOTT?

three million sold. Popular with the masses? no. critically? Yes.

No Me'Shell Ndegeocello?

No Peter Gabriel's Passion?

It's a little odd that more people here haven't been complaining about all the PRINCE albums that aren't on the list. Of course the usual "all lists are stupid and they only want to sell magazines" b.s. is present and accounted for.

As for my own knee-jerk reaction, where's Elvis Costello?

Jarret said:

Surely you don't think these magazines do these lists for their own fulfillment.

endorphin74 said:

Thats why my "The Tears"-Thread dropped like stone Have you heard their record yet?

Marrk said:

'Sign O The Times' isn't popular with the masses? Are you saying Prince only had one popular album in his entire career?

theplejades said:

I have not. How is it?

namepeace said:

Cute. My point is, it's tiresome to see every one of these lists dismissed for the same reasons...when the REAL reason is that whoever's complaining doesn't like how the list came out.

Of COURSE you don't have to agree with every last choice for Christ's sake. That doesn't mean the whole exercise is invalid, or pointless.

I think it good but not as great as I expected. Autograph, Brave New Century and Beautiful Pain are the highlights for me. The B-sides of the Single Refugees are really good too.
But I guess that is off-topic here.Maybe we can start a new thread.

Great album.

I'm hardly the biggest U2 fan, but the Joshua Tree doesn't make the top 100?

Much of the list is good (and fairly obvious), but it is equally filled with overrated pretentious critic choice music.

andyman91 said:

I never liked 'The Joshua Tree' that much. Overall I only like a few U2 tracks here and there and their only studio album I felt compelled to buy was 'Achtung Baby' which made the list.
