Thanks for your comments, guys.

halo, you should definitely check out those albums. They're timeless albums to me! :)

Wow, you have quite a diverse range of musical tastes!

[Nicholas2.0]

I, too, am totally impressed by the diversity.  I may own a lot of these, but my personal Top 100 (whose annual update should be up early in the new year) would be almost completely skewed to the rock side.

Albums I own:

37. Rhythm Nation 1814, Janet Jackson
80. Merry Christmas, Mariah Carey

Note: I regret selling JLP, there are some choice album cuts I wouldn't mind having again from TLC, I have everything I wanted (save one) from RN, and MC is the only sore thumb on your list here.

I have what I want from 2Pac's All Eyez on Me, which is exactly half of it overall (mostly the first disc).

At some point I want to buy:

7. Illmatic, Nas
8. Aaliyah, Aaliyah

2. The Velvet Rope, Janet Jackson
28. Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite, Maxwell
40. Talking Book, Stevie Wonder
46. Graceland, Paul Simon
66. Blue, Joni Mitchell
75. Fire, Electric Six
82. One In A Million, Aaliyah

And while I may or may not have some form of interest in the actual artist, I have no interest in owning these albums.  (The rest.)

[kingofrain]

Easy listening/R&B hell with a few either cliche or just extremly popular rock albums thrown in for good measure, oh and tenacious D album.Not all that diverse in my opinion, but does include several records i really enjoy.I just took another look at the list and noticed some essential hip hop records that I had missed at first glance, pretty cool I guess.
