No dylan, no stones, no beatles with whom I am bored to death. (Well not the beatles - but they can go fetch their praise elsewhere).

Some good, some not. Wish you were here, Doolittle, Closer, The Queen is dead are all good choices. OK computer should be lower.
However, your 11-20 list doesn't seem quite as well thought out as your 1-10. I just don't get some of your choices.
