This is an interesting one. Although the blog is run by one guy, each list has several regular contributors. If this one's eligible, I'll post the '00s, '80s, and '70s lists too (which were all conducted the same guy).
For once, I can't call it predictable. All the obligatory picks are here (Teen Spirit, Losing My Religion, California Love, etc.) but there's some cool left-field picks and some poppier options I wouldn't have thought of. Also, kudos for having TMBG at #3.

Probably ineligible. I need to know more about these writers. Are they music critics?

Allen runs a whole bunch of music blogs in addition to this one. Found bupkis about the rest.
