Besides Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, here are albums that I think will be new entries to the top 1000, that existed at the time of the 2014 poll:
Predictions: Adele - 21 (2011) and Drake - Take Care (2011)
Maybe: Beyonce - Beyonce (2013)

Suggesting an alternate methodology:
Wouldn't it be best to simply use this year's AMF poll, going from the highest ranking album that was not among these first 100, and going down from there?
