Worst of all, I'm starting to like Pavement.

Damn you hate votes. If this hadn't got 4 hate votes, it would have ended up somewhere in the 80's
I did think the hate votes counting as negative points was the worst idea about this poll, even before this outrage.
I thought the nominations process was a great idea, much more interesting than an open poll, and the whole thing has been highly entertaining. Much thanks to Stevem.

i like an awful lot of the records on it, including the #1. i admire the incredible amount of work that went into it. i did not participate, not for any aesthetic or political reasons, but simply because i'm too lazy. and i quite enjoyed reading through it. so i don't mean this as criticism, just as observation and question:
it's just really, really white. and i'm wondering what makes it all that different from all the other lists (rolling stone, q, vill voice, etc) that we constantly carp about? what makes this one any less carpable?

I think it's still Emma Bunton.

count the number of non-white people in the top 100. see how many hands it takes.
count the number of acts in the top 100 whose fans aren't primarily white.
etc.

Does anybody spot something odd about this list?

It's a very very male-dominated list, especially near the top. Not as male-dominated as most 'canonical' lists but still, not a single girl in the top ten, wtf!
