Big plus for so many Waits' albums. Only 6 non US albums though? There's tons of fantastic albums from all over the world, especially from the UK imo. Looking forward to expanded list :)

Great top three! Hootenanny, nice! Anyone with a Placemats fixation deserves to be on watch. Please add-on and comment.

You had all this great music and then you ranked WEEZER ahead of it.
Also, Taylor Swift.
