a top 200 list leave off Amy Winehouse? Seriously. (unless I overlooked it)

Nope, you didn't overlook it. No Arctic Monkeys, either. And you'll notice a whole bunch of some of the most highly acclaimed albums crammed in toward the end, as if they suddenly remembered, "Oh, shit - we forgot DISCOVERY and RETURN TO COOKIE MOUNTAIN and SOUND OF SILVER!"

Somebody on the UtR staff must be friends/sleeping with someone from the Dears. Three albums on the list, including one in the top 20, and the only one that's even Bubbling at AM is all the way at the bottom.

Sleeping with one of the Dears? What about Jenny Lewis? Both solo albums and three Rilo Kiley albums. Oh, wait, that's just me wishing I was sleeping with Jenny Lewis.

Eminem landing two albums in the 101-250 range isn't bad, considering Slant hasn't been big on him.
