    /\ That stood out to me as well! And Born to Run at #40?!? That's a jacked up list. I can't say I agree with pretty much any of it. Even Ten.

    Two Green Day albums in the Top 11.
    My God, set that entire station on fire.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    staff picks not just on air staff so clearly some 90s bias in it.  I think Tool with 2 albums in Top 30 is ridiculous. and i won't give my criticism of 5 Beatles albums lest I be accused of sacrilege.
