Great list, one of the best I've seen.

I was thrilled to find that my chart had been picked when I woke up this afternoon. Somehow my girlfriend didn't understand the importance. I only wish I'd known ahead of time so I could clean things up a little. I've also been listening to 80s records trying to see if there was anything worth adding because this is almost totally devoid of that decade.

The Swizz

[Mother Nature's Son]

You only have two 80's albums and both are by Pixies (and really, Pixies belongs to the 90's)

I have also discovered that decade lately because.. there must be something good about that decade!

Just one question, and maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but... The Swizz?

[ProfessorSquid]

The Smiths were one of the obvious choices with The Queen is Dead being the most likely album. However, I didn't want to just throw that up there without at least listening to Meat is Murder. I listened to Sister and Daydream Nation the other night trying to determine a preference. I'm not entirely sold on The Cure, at least for a Top 100. I dig Jesus and Mary Chain, but don't have enough recent exposure to add them. Other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The Swizz

[ProfessorSquid]

The Swizz is a variation on my last name just like squid. Some of the guys from the homeless shelter call me The Swizz.
