Thanks...

for posting, Romain. Always good to see Madonna, but I continue to be surprised whenever Like a Virgin is cited, and Like a Prayer is not. LAV is a fine pop album, but LAP definitely is superior and meatier. At least Ray of Light is cited (and as indispensable). The source, though, did include Virgin and Ray in its Top 1000 albums list. French critics don't seem to like LAP. lol

Also missing among notable female albums- Liz Phair and Lauryn Hill.

No Purple Rain?

Like the "La discothèque parfaite de l'histoire du rock (2009 edition)" list, the critics put some albums on the "Si vous avez aimé...vous aimerez" (If you likes, you'll like)category.
Do you want I poste these albums ?

Romain, I could be wrong, but didn't we agree that these genre-specific lists from FNAC will not be included?

Yes, but maybe you want the global list ?

Not sure what you mean with global list. You are of course very welcome to post the "you might also like" albums. I'm sure they will be of interest to others in the forum. But I still don't think the list will be included at AM.
