I have been wanting to do a top 100 for sometime and I am just finding it an almost impossible task. Finding 100 albums is hard enough but then to order them is driving me nuts. What I am aiming for with this thread is list my favourite five albums in 20 genres, thus equating to an alternative top 100. I have used MusicBanter's forums as a guide and while 20 genres sounds excessive, I feel they do warrant a section of their own. Here is the genre list:

Ambient/Electronica
Avant Garde/Experimental
Blues
Classical
EDM (inc.all sub genres)
Folk/Country
Indie/Alternative
Jazz
Metal (inc.all sub genres)
Pop
Post-Rock/Metal
Progressive Rock/Metal
Punk
Rap/Hip-Hop
Reggae/Dub
Rock
Singer/Songwriter
Ska (1st/2nd/3rd wave inclusive)
Soundtracks
Soul/Funk.

I have diverse tastes and should'nt really struggle with any of the genres (except Jazz and maybe Folk).
