Albums that you feel should definitely be on list, but are excluded
Garbage - 2.0
Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell
Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls
Only a sample of what I think, but does anyone else have albums they feel should be on?

What Are The Most Acclaimed Years?
I see that four of the top five albums are from 66-67. (I seem to prefer 68-69 personally.)
Does anyone have any statistics on this?

Where the hell is Badfinger on this list?
It's a shame that Badfinger has no albums ranked on the Acclaimed Music top 2000 list. No Dice, Straight Up, and Wish You Were Here are all excellent albums that deserve more acclaim.

Superhints: Clear CD trays vs Black Ones
To improve the look of your CD collection, try replacing your black CD-trays with clear ones when the album has a white-based cover. I'm sure I'm the only person in the world who does this.

Dylan - Modern Times - We Have A New Number One Album Of The Year
Bought after school today and best 25 dollars I have spent since In Utero. It is currently A 95 on Metacritic, a score it deserves. Dylan is THE GREATEST ever.
