Been meaning to get this book for a while. I must say it covers a surprisingly broad range of musical genres - indie, hardcore-punk, extreme metal, pop, folk, drum & bass, you name it. I agree with a lot of the choices in this book and I was very surprised that I have quite a lot of them! I've learned some very interesting facts about a lot of albums too. But of course there has to be a few duff entries as well especially towards more recent years, I strongly doubt albums by Limp Bizkit and Britany Spears should be considered essential...
Gonna make a list of albums from this to download soon enough.
