giving hints about which acts and albums are on the list, via Facebook, in the days leading up to the start of the list. Portishead was the first to be teased.

With the love Slant has for Madonna's Erotica, I expect it to appear- and probably Ray of Light.

Am sure we'll see Lauryn Hill, Radiohead, R.E.M., Nirvana, etc.- probably PJ Harvey, Bjork, etc.

It's not perfect (what is?) but I like it more than Pitchfork's list. Would have liked to see some Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, and Guided by Voices.

Album list better have tons of Blur!
