Once again, synth music is totally overlooked. Where is Gary Numan's The Pleasure Principle, or Human League's Dare, etc. Those albums changed the face of popular music completely. At least they throw us a bone with Kraftwerk.

Odd? Except for a couple (like #100), I think it's an excellent list of songs/albums that took popular music to the next level, and influenced a new batch of artist that would go on to influence others.

No Cream, no RUN DMC (more influential than NWA), no Pink Floyd except for a single? No Grateful Dead?
