No Dark Side of the Moon GASP!
...eerrmm whatever, Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Wish You Were Here are better anyway. (not saying that DSOTM isn't awesome btw)
For me is a tossup between Post, Homogenic and Vespertine. I've never been too big on Debut really.

It's immensely satisfying seeing these 10 albums on the top 100.
Even though a few of them were no-brainers, some of them I was pleasantly surprised about. And I'm definitely gonna check out some of the others listed that look unfamiliar.

On another note, I'm glad to see that Blur's Modern Life is Rubbish and Parklife are represented on this list. Seriously, great band.

I think most fans would agree with you...

LOL, so true.
I wonder what Metal album they threw into there so they can have "Metal credibility".

I've listened to maybe 90 albums in the top 100 and i have no idea who "The Smiths" are. Wtf?
And Mike Hucknall is pretty famous, huh?

Not sure if serious.
Well at least my favorite album of all time is in the top-5. Go Velvet Underground!
I also have no idea who The Smiths are. Is it just some American thing like Garth Brooks?
Everyone's heard of The Beatles.
[edit] Until I looked up who that guy was the other day, I'd never heard of The Velvet Underground either. I thought maybe they did the old WWE RAW theme. Nope.

Wait, is this actually true???
Anyways this is a pretty embarrassing list but what do you expect.
OK Computer is the best album of all time btw. Look at their description for it versus their description for King is Dead. Sheesh. "Well The Smiths don't sound much worse and that's mainly why we chose em"
How boring. Could've subbed them out for REM. At least I've heard of REM.

There's some legitimately good stuff on that list, but maybe it's just the way my taste in music goes but I always find it weird when a single group (or several groups) have several albums on a top list.
The other thing I always wonder is how much the rankings are actually about the quality of the music and how much are about their perceived importance as cultural milestones. Because, I mean look, I grew up on Nevermind but I could name a huge, huge number of albums that I think are just plain better as albums.
Edit: At least the superior Pixies album is higher up and Rumours in on there.

Your taste is bad and you should feel bad.

The way they placed The Smiths makes no sense.
97. The Smiths - The Smiths
100. The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow
But Hatful of Hollow is a compilation album which includes more than half the songs on The Smiths (different versions).
And if they are including compilation albums, then Louder Than Bombs is the Smiths best album (the only one I'd include), so despite including 4 albums with repeat songs, they didn't include their best album.

Surprised Are You Experienced isn't on there.

Louder than Bombs absolutely wipes the floor with Hatful of Hollow.

The order doesn't matter so much because who is really going to meaningfully order 500 albums but I will definitely use the top 100 to fill in some blanks in my history.
Think I'll start with Television.

So all the Metal albums would be:
Metallica's Metallica and Master of Puppets
Slayer's Reign In Blood
*maybe* Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger (Soundgarden were definitely a Metal band at least at one point in their career)
I guess Rage Against The Machine's first album, although I don't consider it a Metal album.
Also, neither Back In Black and Appetite for Destruction are Metal albums, guys.
