Always great to find someone (another Aussie) giving Australian artists/albums the respect they deserve - while I'm not an AC/DC fan, I love the inclusion of Midnight Oil, Alex Lloyd, Baby Animals, INXS in your top 100. Also love seeing Black Rose in the mix as well..

Fantastic metal choices, but not so sure about Drones or The Game. Maybe try Origin of Symmetry or Black Holes And Revelations by Muse, both are great imo. A good start to a chart
