Lots of good stuff but it seems completely out of order according to my taste. The absence of Neutral Milk Hotel is completely inexcusable.

A lot of very predictable stuff in there. A real lack of hard rock/metal/punk and about a thousand other genres. I'm confident I could name 100 better albums.

My favorites are 'Thrak' by King Crimson. '�nima' by Tool, 'Elizium' by Fields of the Nephilim, 'It's a Shame About Ray' by the Lemonheads, 'Fin de si�cle' by The Divine Comedy, and 'Still Life' by Opeth.

Good call. Better than at least half of the list. I mean, c'mon 'Zooropa'? Even U2 admits that one was a bit of a stinker. That and Weezer's 'Pinkerton' features prominently but the unquestionably better blue album is nowhere to be seen. Boo hiss!

Well, any 90's album chart that fails to include '�nima' is simply an abomination. More curiously still, 'Use Your Illusion II' is included. Dearie me.

They come out with these all-time greatest lists every year. They're all meaningless and based on nothing except some magazine editors' worthless opinions.

So I have to click next, and then scroll down 100 times in order to read it. Screw that. Pretty sure it only covers one small corner of music anyway. One i'm quickly losing interest in.

No, you only have to click 9 times. See here: http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8639/top100e.jpg

But you're right - it's not even worth seeing. See the rateyourmusic.com link instead.

The sheer greatness of Rateyourmusic.com cannot be overstated.

Not a bad list. I'd say it's still missing a few albums from the top 100.
