The Rolling Stones - Between the Buttons (1967) wasn't on Robert Dimery's list so I didn't rehash anything by posting it. And just to note Nico – Chelsea Girl which is on Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die did piqued someone's curiosity and got positive feedback. Which proves it doesn't matter if our list shares titles with other lists.

That question is more for duga & norg who mention that the list be trimmed.
I think it is interesting to note that "we've" been following that line of thought that the albums nominated shouldn't appear on Robert Dimery's only about 85% of the time, as of now. Honestly I am curious what it would be like if no one payed attention to that list and just post the albums they liked, only to see how much we have in common. I'm guessing if there is going to be an unwritten rule enforced I guess the percentage would be much lower. I'm not a fan of posting obscure for the sake of being obscure or mentioning albums that one does not like but guesses other will. I am only curious what other people like regardless of rules - whether other may or may not like the choice.

I was going to mention Gang of Four - entertainment! and Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures but scratch that rehash. And I was going to mention ex-Girl - Back to the Mono Kero but I am almost positive that made some kinda list in Japan.
