Just checking the list and, at least for the most recent couple of decades, it's made up of almost entirely stuff that would appeal to indie nerds. The majority of the rest seems to be made up of mainstream albums that are notable either for actually not sucking or just being particularly well known. Hip hop, metal, punk, whatever passes for jazz or classical or whatever else these days, are all but ignored. Seems like a Rolling Stone "Best Albums of All Time" list for the modern, small-minded elitist.
