3. I'd argue that their sound is more important than the time period in this case. Also, the fight is about the album, not the band.
I still wouldn't really call Suicide (band or album) no wave. No wave doesn't really have a unified sound, but they all seem to use dissonance in one form or another, whereas Suicide don't really. They really do sound a lot like punk with synthesizers.

Also...

1. You now have the Stooges self-titled in garage rock and blues rock.

2. STP were post-grunge from album one, so I don't think they belong in grunge at all.

3. As far as alt rock, I'd replace REM's Murmur with Automatic for the People, and throw in either Tim or Let It Be by The Replacements. And Violent Femmes' Hallowed Ground (assuming you don't throw in some kind of country rock list).

4. I think it's pretty commonly agreed upon that Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation is their classic, not Goo.
