....Wait, where's Swastikas for Noddy?

Anyway, I guess I'm looking forward to the top 100, and I'm always happy to see Tori so high on these sorts of lists. Can't say I'm too surprised by most of this, though.

This gives me an excuse to finally try the two husker du albums, the only ones i haven't heard in their top 225 (not counting the top 100, but i figure there will be no surprises there).

A lot of the 100-199 list should be in the top 100

Mumford and Sons is higher than Adele. Ridiculous. :lol:

I know I didn't think they'd get that right either. I know Adele's voice is good but her music is far less interesting than just about anything I've heard from Mumford.

The sadder thing to me personally is that they put both of those above Hot Buttered Soul, Gentlemen, Space Oddity, Paid In Full, Trans Europe Express, Speakerboxx, Just Can't Stop It, The Phosphorescent Blues, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, Pornography, Band On The Run, Clarity, Left and Leaving, Imagine, Donuts, The Sophtware Slump, Stadium Arcadium, Sweet Baby James, Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, Silent Alarm, Punk in Drublic, Since I Left You, Visions, Franz Ferdinand, ATLiens, Damaged, Tago Mago, Please Please Me, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Late Registration, Ocean Rain, Psychocandy, The Age of Adz, Carnavas, Plastic Beach, Enema of the State, The Shape of Punk to Come, Energy, Relationship of Command, Computer World, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, At Last, Figure 8, Five Leaves Left, Black Holes and Revelations, Diary, Milo Goes To College, Trout Mask Replica, Bleed American, Black Sea, Deltron 3030, Madvillain, Things Fall Apart, You're Living All Over Me, Commit This To Memory, Black on Both Sides, Strangeways Here We Come, O, Heaven or Las Vegas, Out of the Blue, Innerspeaker, Different Class, Sounds of Silence, Mingus Ah Um, Repeater, Our Endless Numbered Days, Graduation, Spiderland, Blackstar, Here Come the Warm Jets, Help, Songs From The Big Chair, Evil Empire, Lifted, The Man Machine, Kick, Fear of Music, Meat Is Murder, Cure for Pain, In the Court of the Crimson King, Boys Don't Cry [editor's note: how the hell was this even on here it's not even a real album it's just a reskin of Three Imaginary Boys], Out of Time, Oracular Spectacular, Substance, Closer, English Settlement, The Modern Lovers, Rush of Blood to the Head, Ready to Die, Sublime, I'm Wide Awake It's Morning, Rust Never Sleeps, Plans, 13 Songs, Entertainment!, Bleach, Enter the Wu Tang, Rockin the Suburbs, Let It Be, Yoshimi, The Head on the Door, Low, Document, Midnight Marauders, The Clash, Tommy, Life's Rich Pagent, Double Nickels on the Dime, Pretenders, Transformer, This Year's Model, Illmatic, Either/Or, Fashion Nugget, Hot Fuss, High Violet, Flood, The Cars, Demon Days, Boxer, War, In Utero, Zen Arcade, Pink Moon, Unknown Pleasures, Marquee Moon, To Pimp a Butterfly, American Idiot, Nevermind the Bollocks, and Violator.

This list did make me realize just how much my tastes have changed though. There's probably at least 100 albums listed above that I'd rather listen to than Sigh No More just on this list, and when I joined the site, Sigh No More was like a top 50 album for me.
