With The Beatles as the Beatles second best album? Interesting (I love it... but not as much as Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, etc...)

Just a little too much Muse, Radiohead & Beatles for me. I would like more charts to try '1-album-per-artist'. You would make room for another 25 artists or so? Still, having said all of that, there are some inspired choices here: Somtimes, Untrue, A Crow Left of the Murder..., 10,000 Days, etc. And any chart with The Devil & God Are Raging Inside Me gets my vote every time. Solid!
