Permission to Land is great, always makes me laugh. I'm not familiar with about half of your chart, but I like the other half.

I love George Carlin myself. I own 2 multidisc DVD collections of his comedy specials. But it's just a sticking point with me that I wouldnt consider a comedy album or spoken word, or even a greatest hits or live album a true 'album' just the same way I wouldnt consider a concert film or documentary a true feature film/movie. But to each his own. It's your list after all ;)

I really don't think comedy or spoken word albums fit in the category of music, myself. But I'm going on the albums that I like the best and if it's an option on the website, why not include it? Really I could have nearly every one of George's albums on here, I enjoy them that much. I debated including It's Bad For Ya, but it's the best comedy or music album I've ever heard. It changed my views on many things and really got me into Carlin. So for those reasons alone, I think it would be an insult to not include it in the chart.

Very metal and grunge. In fact nearly all hard rock, metal and grunge. exceptionally strange inclusion that given of Thriller... and George Carlin is one of the all time greats in comedy but come on. It's like having a documentary win best picture at the movie awards...

Favorite comedian as #1, Seattle grunge and 80's metal--also my first concert Billy Squier and Ratt back in '85? Nice list
