How Justified are the Top 100
by AvalancheGrips

1-50, albums that are justified. The closer they are to 1, the higher up they should be, or, the difference in where they should be vs. where they are.

51-75 are pretty justified and are generally fine where they are

76-100, albums that are not justified. The closer they are to 100, the less justified they are.

Some albums that are completely snubbed (mostly between 101-300):
Slint- Spiderland
David Bowie- Station to Station
LCD Soundsystem- Sound of Silver
Rage Against the Machine- Rage Against the Machine
Elliott Smith- Either/Or
