Boring and obsessed with the '60s and '70s, but nothing I actively dislike.

So uninteresting of a chart. Not a single album from the 00's. Shame.

A really nice representation of the best music available. I just can't fathom why some keep complaining about the lack of 21st century music on these charts. It's easy to understand why there's a lack of newer music. When something worthy finally comes along that can stack up, it'll be included, too.

It's not like new music is bad or something? The list could need a few albums from the 00's!

- But else a great list from Sound & Vision.
