I wouldn't have voted for Depeche Mode but yeah, I'm really surprised to not see it there.

Thanks Tuomas. It would be interesting to see 101-150 or 200, if you're able to. Great poll. I've picked up the few albums that I didn't already have, except for World of Echo, which should be ready tonight. It's certainly had me re-considering some of these albums. For example, I've had Hounds Of Love for about ten years, but I've always sort of lost focus after the first half. I just re-listened to it, and the second half certainly isn't bad. It just never clicked before. I'll have to listen more. Seems like it could benefit from a remaster. I had the tape of Sign O' The Times since it came out and got pretty sick of it. I remember people asking to take it off halfway through at a party in the mid-90s because they were sick of it. I believe it was replaced by Master Of Puppets which did liven things up. I'm listening to it now, and could still do without half the songs. I got to see PE perform Nation of Millions last year at Pfork, which was great. Anyone else see it? RIL was my #1.

Curtis that is astonishing that you've never heard Sade! "Smooth Operator" is just one of those songs I imagine everyone knowing.

Bum Rush the Show
btw
Straight Outta Compton has a four great tracks and then all these other tracks that are just there. It is important record, and its social impact puts on a level that I think only a few things in all of the arts reach, but there are easily 100 albums from 80-89 that make better listens from beginning to end.
But I was a week shy of three-years-old when it came out, so what the fuck do I know? Maybe the old heads still let it play through, but I think I can count one finger the number I've times I've heard the end of something 2 dance 2
This is kinda shitty of me to say this but I don't think you really understand N.W.A unless you fuck with "Something 2 Dance 2".

*101-150
Did anyone else choose not to rank their ballot, or am I alone there?

Would you like to destroy your ego? Then why not calculate just how much impact you have on this 1 out of 168,116 threads of on this tiny corner of human existence. This tiny virtual corner. Without my vote:
Thriller would’ve tied with Doolittle for #9Graceland would’ve been five places lower at #26Appetite for Destruction drops five places to #32The Stone Roses drops three places to #31Hatful of Hollow drops two places to #35Born in the USA drops one to tie at #55The Joshua Tree drops eleven to #87Rum, Sodomy and the Lash drops eight to #86Actually drops off entirely
and the mystery #101 makes it onto the list. Sorry #101 - now I feel I have used my life to do great wrong.
