An Objective Ranking of the BEA Top 100
by PaperVinnie

1-53: Justified being in the top 100
54-70: Top 100 ranking questionable
71-72: In no way shape or form do these albums deserve to be in the top 100
73-100: Haven't listened fully yet.

Note: Most of my charts are based off of what I like the most. I like to think this one is more objective.

Rather belt myself over the head with a hammer repeatedly than listen to Daydream Nation or VU & Nico again... However, interesting concept
