MB's top 50 according to RYM

That's quite a fair list i think. Obviously most of the albums are a bit obvious but thats because more people are going to own them. I'll never complain with 2 Pixies albums in the top 5! No Smiths though!

I have 49 of them funnily enough
 
Wow that's actually not bad at all. Some of the choices are surprising but good, and some artists seem to be favored more heavily than I would think, but overall not bad.
 
I have 47. A much more accurate list of the the more discerning listener even though a few are not in the order I would put them at.

19/24/35 are missing from my collection but I don't rate Pet SounRAB at all anyhow!
