Discounting the presence of some talentless rappers (50 Cent? Really?), this list is really good.

Awful! The first page is decent, but generic and then it steadily seems to decrease leading into Creed. Hah!

This list is trash, Creed's Human Clay is considered better than London Calling!?!?!?!? my head might implode

Just look at the top 3. Lame commercial turd.

As this list reflects what people across the world actually buy, it's no wonder we were all nearly sunk by a global recession if they part with their hard earned cash in such numbers for some of these albums! Although the list can't be faulted for reflecting stats, it is probably not a good reflection of the tastes of those who, if asked, would say music is a high priority in their lives. Lesson for today: MAKE BETTER CHOICES
