Strange, smaller artists I think should be there (+ an explanation of the genre cuz they're little):
Monarchy (Electronica)
The Paper Sons (Metal, Punk)
Mikael Karlsson (he at least deserves a top 10,000) (Experimental)
Kings of Convenience (Alternative I guess?)
Soho (Early New Wave)
Hot Hot Heat (Indie Rock)
Office (Indie Rock)
Photographers (Acoustic Silliness)
Bands I think should be there and REALLY REALLY deserve it:
Chicago (I ... WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?)
James Taylor (I'd just assumed he'd be there, I've never seen a chart without him by a magazine or major publisher)
Madness (One Step Beyond ... started the ska revival and New Wave)
Blue October (at least for Foiled guys ... that should be a top 500 album)
Sweet Baby (changed punk, people forget that)
The Bravery (The Sun and The Moon is one of the most complete albums I've ever heard)
White Lies (To Lose My Life ... is utter bliss in the worst way)
Goo Goo Dolls (they're close, but A Boy Named Goo really changed the way music sounded in the coming years)
OMD (top 1000 band with no top 2000 albums. That's just wrong. Also because their debut is just pure joy)
Less Than Jake (Really, Hello Rockveiw isn't a top 4000 album?)
The Airborne Toxic Event (their debut garnered votes as a better album than Stone Roses. IMO, it is.)
EDIT: NO IDEA why I quoted the OP. Sorry. _________________
Do you get disappointed in BEA because a certain band doesn't have an album in the top 100? Talk about those albums here.
DREAMBOAT ANNIE by Heart. That album is in my top 100 after three listens. The album consists of many hits like "Crazy On You," "Magic Man," and "Sing Child," along with three beautiful versions of the title track. I find that Heart is a deserving band that is hardly talked about here. They made it big in the 70's with Dreamboat, and made a major comeback with their self-titled album from 1985.
I know, right? It's not even in the top 20 of 1976.
Heart could rock, they could wail, and they could croon. I can't think of any other bands that could rock that hard when they wanted and sound so sweet when they wanted.
Just between you and me, JMan, I'm starting to believe that, if a band had any actual hits, the BEA users community thinks they aren't allowed to like them.
Yes, I seriously think that The Olivia Tremor Control's Dusk at Cubist Castle should be in the top 1000. It's a psychedelic masterpiece that everyone who is a fan of the Beach Boys or Beatles should hear. Here's a link to the album.

I like hits and albums which sold millions and Get Lucky and Michael Jackson and even Bat Out Of Hell to an extent, but apart from the first few songs, Dreamboat Annie is not a good album IMO. Not terrible, I just feel nothing while listening to it. Boring.
