Certainly some questionable moments as you usually get from these type of lists.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 over Faith is a weird choice for George Michael.

Velvet Underground & Nico being at 60 feels so wrong for being the original art rock album, it below AM of all albums is laughable (why not Arctics' debut?!).

good kid, m.A.A.d city that high when To Pimp a Butterfly didn't make the top 100 is a bit of a choice, but it is a great album and I think I narrowly prefer it. Similar for Frank Ocean for Blonde this high when Channel Orange is nowhere to be seen, but I've still only heard the latter which is apparently not quite as acclaimed so I'll refrain from judging x

Obviously 1989 (TV) being that high (Above Revolver and Pet Sounds no less) is an utter joke and obviously a corporate decision, Billie as well, it was good but arguably her weakest album of the three.

Discovery as highest dance album is a wonderful choice for it's impact on dance music, and great to see some trip-hop acknowledgement with Massive Attack. and I can't really argue with the top 10 as a whole even though I wouldn't quite put the modern albums as high. Top 3 are all deserved and though I appreciated Lauryn Hill's album more than I enjoyed it, I can definitely see the reasons it's so high.

Sufjan Stevens, Aphex Twin & Joy Division strike me as notable omissions. I do love a good acclaimed list though, so may well make my way through it at some point and feedback just how accurate they are x

This is kind of refreshing mix of "best" and "most popular" albums.
