Good to see Megadeth's "Peace Sells..." on the list, great album (their only good album imo)

Re: Exposure Magazine's 50 greatest albums not to make the greatest albums lists

I agree that the list is not what you to expect to come out from such a title, but their taste is great(although you can never agree completely)!

Re: Exposure Magazine's 50 greatest albums not to make the greatest albums lists

That list is SO all-over-the-place -- which is great!
