The following list - the Definitive 200 - was developed by NARM, the National Association of Recording Merchandisers in celebration of the art form of the record album. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is pleased to recognize this varied collection of some of history’s most influencial and popular albums, many of which are Hall of Fame Inductees.

Rush at #198? That ain't right. Put "Moving Pictures" somewhere in the top 20.
They're forgetting Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast.
"Two minutes to midnight..." :-)
Huh??? Is this an April Fool's joke???
Rush never gets the respect they deserve, and I doubt we'll live to see them inducted into the Hall of Fame.
I fully expect this so-called "list" to be politicized by including the anti-American "Dicksie Chix".
Damn. I hate it when I'm right. I didn't even look at the list.
The moment I saw that, I stopped reading.
DAVE BRUBECK – TIME OUT at 150! Now I KNOW this list is a joke.
"Exit Stage Left" is also probably one of the best live albums ever recorded.
No comment on the inclusion of the DCs, but am a bit surprised to see Miles Davis' Kind of Blue on this list, seems a tad out of place.
Let me step out on a limb and suggest that this record may be one of the top 10 (non-classical) recordings of all time (and I am not a huge Miles Davis fan). Heretic that I am, I see it more as the piano guy's record (Bill Evans). The way I read it, Miles brought some ideas and Bill fleshed them out.
That's the problem with this list - lumping two categories together.
While "Automatic for the People" may have been REM's most popular album, "Murmer" was by far a much more influential album.
Oh, and let's not forget the effort Geddy Lee put towards Bob and Doug McKenzie's "Take Off (To The Great White North)". He is not a hoser, eh.

You're right - it should be in the top 50.
(I'm guessing you don't think it belongs at all)
You're guessing wrong. :) I agree with you, my friend.
I think the #148 artist has got a new album out.I believe it's titled " To know you is to behead you " !!!
