Thanks for compiling that list :).

Me too. But I'm surprised, even looking at the FULL list, how few my collection is missing. Nice work, gogo!

 

i agree, there's not a lot on there that i don't already own. i was hoping to get introduced to a few albums i hadn't heard before. great list though, thanks gogo

 

i just looked at the spreadsheet, awesome!

I use iTunes as my primary music playing device (obviously hooked up through my stereo) and I regularly pass the time (read: procrastinate) by creating playlists. I think I am going to make one with my favorite track from each of the top 100. :P

None of mine did. :lol

But yours was one of my favorite lists. :) I'm definitely doing that, too, going through and finding people who like a lot of the same stuff I like, and then picking up the ones on their lists that I don't have.

Nice work and an interesting list.

Some things that jumped out at or surprised me:

 

1. Both the Beatles' Let it Be and Let it Be Naked made the list

2. Zeppelin III being the only Zeppelin

3. Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs being ranked so high. I don't have it so I think I probably should go get it.

4. I have 84 of the 100
