That one's on there, but you definitely have some great albums on your list.

I like early U2, but Boy is pretty spotty, if you ask me, and that Arctic Monkeys album must be really good.

These are definitely deserving.

I don't really get the high regard for On Avery Island, but then I've never been a huge fan of Aeroplane.

I'm surprised My Blood Valentine, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are so high. Great bands with great albums but I would have them further down on the list.

Good list overall, though.

Squarepusher - Feed Me Weird Things
µ-ziq - Tango n' Vectif
US Maple - Long Hair in Three Stages
Silver Jews - Starlite Walker

I can't believe Violent Femmes aren't on there either. That's a slight.

I was going to say that was a good list, but then noticed the inexplicable exclusion of this...

...and immediately the list became invalid. I mean, this doesn't just belong in the Top 100, it belongs in the TOP FIVE!

Nice to see The Associates in there who have been getting a lot of plays at my place since I unearthed 'Sulk' for a mix I was making for Katie.

I'd rate 'The Affectionate Punch' behind 'Fourth Drawer Down' and the aforementioned 'Sulk' but still...

Not a bad list, but The Dolls should be number one.

Ready To Die

Paid In Full
36 Chambers
Reasonable Doubt
Criminal Minded

Did Stephen Merritt make that list or something?

I agree with this, especially the top 20.

Like other have pointed out there are some glaring omissions like Three Imaginary Boys, TheViolent Femmes and I Should Coco. My Bloody Valentine’s Isn't Anything is really good but not their debut as they put out an album called My Bloody Valentine in the 80’s. Nowhere is a better debut though.

Where's The B-52's?

Otherwise, ditto 90% what Ex Lion Tamer said.

Or Appetite For Destruction. How the fuck is that #76?

Good call on the omission of the first Violent Femmes. :wtf:

And I would put Warren Zevon's debut above all of them. Except that a quick check of AMG says that he released an album called Wanted Dead or Alive in 1969...hmph. Well then, his proper s/t debut (the one released in '76) is better than all of these.

I think I'd put every one of these ahead of each hip-hop album to make this list
