agreed, it should be considered among the top records of all time, regardless that it is hip hop/rap...pure gold. (i want to do a quiz asking for all the references of famous people on that album)

when it said "albums", I (and a large percentage evidently) thought of "music". therefore.....

Sonic youth are probably the best band on there (or one of) and yet they got the lowest score. If you've got any angsty teenage kids, play them Daydream Nation.

Who actually needs "AC/DC" abbreviated to just "AC"? These type-ins that cut you off in the middle of your answer are just annoying.
