Life’s Rich Pageant is the sole REM entry. Not Automatic for the People or Murmur, Life’s Rich Pageant, an album that the band freely admits was slapped together out of old rejected songs, covers, and about an EP’s worth of original material.

This isn’t that awful of a list, guys, considering the source.

Hole? Are you kidding me? I don't care if it's at fucking 99, it shouldn't be there at all.

As one of those people whose musical development kind of stagnated in the 90s, I'm curious about what happened to some of really influential 90s bands - Toad the Wet Sprocket, or the Gin Blossoms, or even the Goo Goo Dolls - who are arguably one of the primary influences on the late 90s "alternative" movement.

No D’Angelo? Bob Marley’ inclusion on this list is a little dubious seeing as he died in 1981…

Ah, 2000, the year with Stankonia, The Marshall Mathers LP, and the Grammy going to Steely Dan.

i’m disappointed they didn’t include some of the albums they called the best of the year at the time–namely, joan osborne’s relish (really!) and everything but the girl’s walking wounded. because i subscribed to ew when i was 14 and got an awful lot of my music recommendations from them.
