They got #1 right, but #2 and 3 are laughable. Neon Bible is a horrible excuse for a follow up to Funeral, and Bruce is on the list because he's Bruce, not because Magic is good. By my count, i have 78 of the 100 of these in some form

15? Not bad I guess. No Queens? Come on!

I'm sorry, but am I the only person on here listening to the Virgins? That's pretty much impossible.

I just feel like they are the next Strokes (in a good way) and I know they released just an EP this year but I haven't seen them on ANY lists…people may disagree with me, but I think this was one of the best rock EPs of the year.

I only own 11 of these, but can't say I've listened to the GBQ record since their concert.

My favorite for this year isn't on this list, and it's a bootleg of NPR's broadcast of the Stooges concert at the 930 on 4/5/07. That thing rawks!
