Great selections. I have all of these in my personal collection. Lots of styles and genres out there, though...expand a little outside of your area of current interest. With those albums as a springboard, you'll be surprised how much other stuff you'll like out there.

You have some really good picks (funhouse, VU and Nico, The Idiot, Lust for Life, etc) but then you also have "Smash"
which is, in my opinion, terrible and brings down what would be a 90 or a 95 to a 80
