This is best in critic's lists subforum.

And we need Henrik to decide if it is eligible.

When I write "it looks eligible" (especially when it's with an exclamation mark) it means that it is eligible unless someone who knows more about the list has a different opinion.

The New York Times (USA) - Critics' Choices; Albums as Mileposts In a Musical Century (2000)

Correction: January 6, 2000, Thursday A Critics' Choices article on Monday about 25 pivotal albums in 20th-century popular music misidentified the one that inspired the 1966 Beach Boys recording ''Pet Sounds.'' It was the Beatles' ''Rubber Soul,'' not their ''Revolver.''
