    Is there a link where the entire list is on a single page?

    I have 44 albums on the list. Woulda been more but I sold off a lot of my rap (DMC, LL, Missy) years ago.

    I think the only one of the tip 15 I don't own is PJ Harvey, although I could have missed one. I probably own about 50 of them. While I own it, I will never understand the love that Speakerboxxx/The Love Below gets from critics. That album is a hot mess. I'd have a hard time getting a decent single album out of those songs.

    Pretty good list. Few complaints here. Being a huge fan myself, it's nice to see Pavement get a lot of respect, but it's hard to believe that a band that less than 1 percent of the world has probably ever heard of can be so influential, though you can here what could be considered their influence in a lot of music that came after, I suppose.

    I'd say I own (have bought or commandeered one way or another) around 65 or 70.

    Some stuff that isn't on there should be. Other stuff that is on there shouldn't be. But you'll always have those arguments. It's why lists are such a popular thing to do, IMHO.

    I'm batting a solid .008 (1 for 125). Wouldn't even make the Mendoza Line as far as albums I've heard of, let alone actually heard.

    Counted 'em up -- I have (or have had, at one point or another) 44 on the list.

    I find it amazing that I have as many as I do considering I've bought about 10 CDs in the last five years.

    Fortunately, having every Jay-Z and Outkast disc puts my total number pretty high.

    4 for 125, and proud to not own the other 121.
     
  9. Lee Greenwood and Toby Keith didn't make the list, eh? :)

    No RHCP? Whether you go earlier with them or later, I don't know, but hard to imagine they get nothing. I'd have gone "By the Way".

    Also, I think "The Eminem Show" needs to be there somewhere, probably ahead of the Eminem album that did make it.

    Sorry, not a country guy.

    I thought the list was pretty solid, but "Ten" and "Elephant" were a little low.

    The only two I thought they missed were ANC's "Dirt" and The Killers "Hot Fuss".

    Carry on.
