So here's how we chose the albums for the All-TIME 100. We researched and listened and agonized until we had a list of the greatest and most influential records ever - and then everyone complained because there was no Pink Floyd on it. And that's exactly how it should be.

Well, from this promising start Time's 100 Greatest Albums list quickly goes downhill; among the mere 9 albums selected from 2000 and later are to be found compilations of Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Muddy Waters, and Hank Williams.

Pathetic.

Anyway, here it is:

No mention of Kate.

And here are my greatest (meaning of course, my favorite) albums year by tuneful year:
1970 Van Morrison - Moondance
1971 Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love and Hate
1972 Lou Reed - Transformer
1973 Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
1974 David Bowie - Diamond Dogs
1975 Patti Smith - Horses
1976 Bob Dylan - Desire
1977 Elvis Costello & the Attractions - My Aim Is True
1978 The B-52's - The B-52's
1979 The Clash - London Calling
1980 Kate Bush - Never for Ever
1981 X - Wild Gift
1982 Kate Bush - The Dreaming
1983 Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
1984 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - From Her to Eternity
1985 Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
1986 The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
1987 The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
1988 Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man
1989 Jane Siberry - Bound by the Beauty
1990 Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones
1991 My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
1992 Sonic Youth - Dirty
1993 PJ Harvey - Rid of Me
1994 Green Day - Dookie
1995 Elliott Smith - Elliott Smith
1996 Tori Amos - Boys for Pele
1997 Elliott Smith - Either/Or
1998 The Divine Comedy - Fin de Siecle
1999 Moby - Play
2000 The Mountain Goats - The Coroner's Gambit
2001 Mirah - Advisory Committee
2002 Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk
2003 Nina Nastasia - Run to Ruin
2004 Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch
2005 Antony and the Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now

The two greatest years for overall album releases being 1978 and 2004.

heh I have no idea what you're talking about.

\m/ is a representation of the "warding off the devil" sign that metal fans like waving about with the 'm' representing the middle three knuckles and the slashes the thumb and pinky.

diving backwards? heh I can't make that out at all.

Oh

I mistook the thumb and pinky for arms.

So mine depict a cheering person instead of a (four-digit

) hand. And yours also looks like Dolly Parton diving backwards.

;D
