4. The College Dropout Kanye West (2004)
Did Kanye write up this list?? Jesus H. Christ....
Any list that puts Kanye West 10 spots ahead of The Cure's Disintegration is absolutely stricken from the records, in my mind.

wow...I mean...wow.. that is one BAD list.
#1 was a good pick, but having such a good pick at #1 and then going to #2 to see that it was Lauren Hill..I mean, I actually laughed out loud. That is just pure insanity.
Plus they put In Rainbows above The Bends or Ok Computer,, stupid. stupid stupid list.
I swear, why cant someone get a list that isnt nutty.
Yeah they had Rain Dogs on it, thats good, but should have been in Top 5. The whole list though.. just.. Ughhhh.

no Buena Vista Social Club - shame on you EW - shame!
or two electronic acts that defined the genre: The Chemical Brothers: Dig Your Own Hole and Orbital: In Sides.
and giving some props to a band that made very little dent on this side of the pond but released two outstanding albums: Manic Street Preachers: 'This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours' and 'Everything Must Go'
let alone Pulp - whose song (and lyrics) Common People from off of 'Different Class' puts many bands/artists on that list to shame.

Wow, just wow.
The exclusion of Michael Jackson's Thriller alone completely invalidates this list with respect to any criteria that you can think of: quality, influence, popularity, sales, you name it.

I own (or had, at one point, owned) the following:
(it's a lot more than I would've thought)
1. Purple Rain Prince and the Revolution (1984)
3. Achtung Baby U2 (1991)
8. Graceland Paul Simon (1986)
10. In Rainbows Radiohead (2007)

17. Odelay Beck (1996)
26. Time Out of Mind Bob Dylan (1997)
27. Funeral Arcade Fire (2004)
30. Appetite for Destruction Guns N' Roses (1987)
32. Life's Rich Pageant R.E.M. (1985)
38. Raising Hell Run-DMC (1986)
41. Legend Bob Marley and the Wailers (1984)

48. American IV: The Man Comes Around Johnny Cash (2002)
52. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Spoon (2007)
53. King of America Elvis Costello (1986)
55. It Takes a Nation of Millions... Public Enemy (1988)
56. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Wilco (2002)
58. Surfer Rosa The Pixies (1988)
60. Crooked Rain Crooked Rain Pavement (1994)
61. Paid in Full Eric B. & Rakim (1987)
62. OK Computer Radiohead (1997)
63. The Joshua Tree U2 (1987)
65. Elephant The White Stripes (2003)
68. Wrecking Ball Emmylou Harris (1995)
72. 1984 Van Halen (1984)

Nirvana Unplugged is No. 11 and Nevermind isn't included! 
No Sonic Youth?
A Bob Marley compilation of music recorded before 1983?
yeah, this list sucks.

Good call, and I'd also add "The Holy Bible" to that list.

DVD Talk Hall of Fame
God, these things always suck incredibly. How many people would participate if we did a DVDTalk list? I'm thinking we could do a thread where everyone posts their top 50 albums of the last 25 years. Weighted points could then be assigned with something like:
#50 - #41 - 1 pt each
#40 - #31 - 1.25 pts each
#30 - #21 - 1.5 pts each
#20 - #11 - 1.75 pts each
#10 - #5 - 2 pts each
#5 - #1 - 2.25 pts each
After everyone had compiled their lists, points would be assigned to albums based on how people ranked them and we'd have a top 100. Or, if someone has a better methodology to suggest, we could use that. If people are interested, I'll start the thread.
