One album per artist, no soundtracks, no compilations. Three live albums (Ramones, Thin Lizzy and Motörhead) were unavoidable

I really like your chart - great to see some Tea Party, and Aussie bands Powderfinger and Silverchair in there. Agree that Superunknown is top 10 - killer album, one of my absolute faves. Hats off for choosing one per artist - not easy to do. 18 albums and 20 artists in common - quite a few I'd have very close to slotting in my 100. Nice one!

Some rock & metal picks that aren't seen too often on the greatest charts. Nice work so far.
