We criticize publications more than users because it's not personal, and easier to hide behind. That said, this chart is pretty weak.

HappyMeal, a PERSON'S chart is his FAVORITE albums. This is a MAGAZINE that thinks it can be the most trustworthy source, not an individual's favorite. They're two different things. A person can have favorites, and his chart is just what he likes.

Fleetwood Man Rumours, Boston, and Van Halen less than top 20? A Dixie Chicks album? The soundtrack to freakin' Grease? The only good thing about this chart is that Led Zeppelin IV beats Nevermind. Nothing great after that.
Why Dixie Chicks? If they're so great, how come I've only heard 1 song that they've done?
