O.K. Computer ahead of Pink Floyd DSOTM? Radiohead aint got 'nothin on anybody. IMHO...They blow big time.

OK Computer is in my top ten.  I personally think Radiohead are in a league of their own and produce some of the best music of anyone in this decade.....YMMV

I like Radiohead, but I like their older stuff more than their newer stuff.  I still can't connect with Rainbows.

I downloaded In Rainbows for free, listened once. Can't see what the big deal about them is all about.

I just upgraded my KXCI membership and so I could get 2 free tickets to see Booker T and the MG's. These guys have been playing together since 1962 so it should be an interesting concert.

I love In Rainbows; but even Amnesiac and Kid A are less than 10 yrs old.  That was my point.  Since The Bends I'd like to see another modern group who have the catalog Radiohead does (Bends, OK, Kid A, Amnesiac, HTTF, Rainbows) over the past 10 yrs.  Wilco, IMO, is the only one who comes even close (their small hall concert here three weeks ago was tremendous, BTW).

I saw Booker T a year ago (for free too).  It was a blast.

BTW, Radiohead is not a taste that is easily acquired with "listened once".  That level of sophistication and layering is one reason I think they are so good; they don't wear out....conversely, they require a level of  "investment".

I definitely would go with Wilco, but that probably comes as no surprise to anybody here.  Glad you enjoyed their show Ted.

As for other bands over the last 10 or so years...

I don't think they were all the commercial success of a Radiohead (but they have fairly large and very loyal followings), but here are a few of my favorites that produced many quality albums over that period:

Ben Harper
Ryan Adams
Tori Amos
The Black Crowes
Dave Matthews Band

Nebraska?? Some one needs to lay off the bong pipe!!

Why was this not included?




I dare say that this album had a MUCH LARGER IMPACT on the music scene then bloody Nebraska.

There are many other errors with this list, but this is just too glaring to not point out.

Hey dude, don't bogart that joint 

Elvis is on the list:

76. Elvis Presley, The Sun Sessions

[Freo-1]

The Elvis Presley album from 1956 should have been in the top 5, and it's not even listed. It makes no sense. If you go back and read up on the impact this album had, you will get a better understanding of why this is such a glaring omission.   

[JoshK]

There are no Tool albums on this list.    Its invalidated.

You may be right about the impact the album had at the time of it's release. But...

This list of albums is not supposed to the "THE" definitive list of top albums, but the top 913 albums as picked and voted on by the diverse group of KXCI's dj's. Since many of the dj's were not alive in 1956, they probably missed the impact it had at that time. Elvis's Sun Sessions was released in 1999 and was probably more influential for most people spinning tunes today.

I understand where you are coming from, but, this is supposed to be the top 100 of all time, so ignorance of the past is no excuse. Besides, all the artists from the 60's on all pay a great deal of homage to Elvis, and many of them will list that album as a key element in their music life.

But Nirvana's Nevermind is Number 10

Does that count?

OK, now I agree, a glaring omission.
No collection would be complete without Elvis's first RCA recording.

 I have 6 out of that list. "Chacun son gout".

Any top 100 list that mentions Tom Waits twice without mentioning Led Zeppelin is an abomination....

I would have to agree. I like Tom Waits, but honestly, as McEnroe used to say "You can't be serious". Wasn't Stairway To Heaven voted the most popular song ever some time back?

Memo to the folks who came up with the list: Step away from the bong pipe, and clear your head

Agreed, but which album and where would you put it in the lineup?

Well, actually, it's not all that hard. Led Zeppelin IV was surely the most commercial success, while Physical Graffiti was considered their best artistic statement, nes pa?
