Quick Thoughts:
*I love the inclusion of "Blackstar" (please keep it) it's a phenomenal album.
*I like the "Illmatic" Nas album, I;m not sure however if NWA's "Straight outta Compton" or Public Enemy's "It takes a Nation..." really hold up well. Listening to tracks from both are at times laughable with how corny they sound in todays context...I don't know I might be alone there.
*I feel that "Moondance" not "Astral Weeks" is the best Van Morrison album and would recommend you listen to both and decide for yourself.
*Not sure Woody Guthrie warrants the number 2 overall spot...but i defer to those who know the genre better.
*Sgt. Peppers is better then Abbey Road (personal Opinion)
*Please Consider the Yardbirds, Blind Faith, Cream and\or Derek & The Domino's for your top 100.
Blind Faith released a self titled album in 1965 I believe. It was Stevie Winwood, Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton. Amazing Blues Rock stuff.
Also the Yardbirds 1965 "Having a Rave up" Album featured tracks with both Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck on guitar though it's Beck who graces the cover.

*I am starting to believe that "The Velvet Underground and Nico" is truly the GREATEST album ever. Not sure why though.
