Much better than The Rolling Stone list.
For me, maybe not sorted the right way, but it's all there.

Good choices but i don't really think the Stone Roses deserve to be #1. Just my opinion though.

Good chart but bizarre order. Surreal not to see Highway 61 on here when they have a couple of other Dylan albums.
