What happens in cases where there are updates to the original list? For instance, the albums that appeared on the original list, but are removed from future updates? And, also, if rankings for some change dramatically? Some albums that were ranked pretty high were removed? The Sun Sessions at 11 and...

Quite a jump for The Immaculate Collection (it was at 278 on the initial list). Like a Prayer and Ray of Light rank only slightly lower, while Music drops off. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/sns-rt-us-rollingstone-listbre83q0v4-20120427,0,6532855.story Rolling Stone overhauls album rank...

Maybe the thread title can be changed- i.e. NME's 100 Greatest of the Decades" so that all the decade lists appear in this thread? The 1950s 100. Dion & The Belmonts, 'A Teenager In Love' 99. Sonny Boy Williamson, 'Don't Start Me Talkin' 98. Clarence 'Frogman' Henry, 'Ain't Got No Home' 97....

Very urban heavy. Is that Compex's focus?

We shall see if it's Christmas came late, Henrik- or would it be very early? The songs list may feel even more like Christmas. :) I liked Slant's 00s and 90s lists (the 90s Albums one to be added to the site in a future update). I guess we may get 70s, 60s and 50s lists in 2013, 2014 and 2015. hehe ...

The gloves are off now, HRS! :mrgreen: Hounds of Love has the edge here at Acclaimed Music, but Slant loves it some Madonna, so it may be a close call on those two. I just wonder if she will have another entry- maybe the debut album. Like a Virgin and True Blue have some great, impactful singles, bu...

Brian Eno and David Byrne, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts 84. Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force, Planet Rock: The Album...

I just came across the 90s list, as well. :) However, it says the following: "We asked Paste editors, writers, as well as Twitter followers and Facebook fans what albums from the ’90s still matter to them. Here are the 90 Best Albums of the 1990s." So, the 90s list would not be eligible, a...

Same deal as the 80s feature. Link probably won't be up for too long, so i copied-and-pasted the titles. This one went deeper- to 109 albums (it erroneously had Fugazi's 1988 Fugazi album with the 90s- I will add it to the 80s list). http://www.nme.com/rate/bestalbumsofthe90s/1 Cocteau Twins - Heave...

NME currently has a list of 65 albums for site visitors to vote on. The following link probably won't be up for too long: http://www.nme.com/rate/best80salbum/1 I went through and copied-and-pasted the 64 albums, putting them in chronological order; once you put in 65 at the end of the URL, the albu...

Whitney actually is one of my favorite female acts. Yes, the material at times was schmaltzy, slick, overproduced, whatever- but there was no denying The Voice.

Her debut set a template for female pop/R&B that came after it.

RIP, Nippy.
