Generally a really good list, one that I can certainly support. In my opinion there are a couple that they missed, but they didn’t ask my opinion, did they?
Narrowing it down to a short list could be challenging, though!

Yeah, I think there are some glaring omissions and a couple of strange inclusions, but otherwise it is a really strong list. I have no idea how they are going to slice this down to 10 albums!
