Yeah, I agree. If these are considered the best, that's sad! These are not the best IMO, but we all have different tastes. | |

Out of those listed, only Arcade Fire would be in my list. | |

I own a bunch of those, but the only one I really love is 'Funeral'. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

i like the sufjan album, but i certainly hope that's not going to be indicative of the best music i'm gonna hear until i croak. | |

It was some merit! It's an incredible tour de force! I love Medulla and it might even be in my top 10 of the century, but I wouldn't expect it in anyone else's list. | |

"Best Albums of the Century" is TOO LOFTY an estimation to grant these works for a time period that's just around 7.5 years deep.
I'm sorry, but we need to get -- at least -- to 2025 or the '40's before we begin spouting off "century" lists without seeming facetious. | |
