THE TOTAL ABSENCE OF CELINE DION THUS FAR IS A PLUS: WXPN is now into the top 100 of their list of Greatest Albums, with some bands making surprisingly high showings (Dave Matthews Band's "Before These Crowded Streets" at #94, Damien Rice's "O" at #115?) and several bands clearly having reached their high points ("Rites of Passage" at #102). So, let's see if we can collectively generate what's left. I can come up with about fifteen here:
  • DMB, "Crash" and "Under The Table and Dreaming." Slim chance for "Everyday," but given that other DMB albums have made the list, those two, especially "Crash," would seem to be cinches.
  • U2, "Joshua Tree" and "Achtung Baby"
  • R.E.M., "Automatic For The People"
  • Coldplay, "Rush of Blood to The Head"
  • Beatles, "White Album," "Sgt. Pepper's"
  • Springsteen, "Wild, Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle"
  • The Police, "Synchronicity"
  • The Clash, "London Calling"
  • Paul Simon, "Graceland"
  • Tori Amos, "Little Earthquakes"
  • Counting Crows, "August and Everything After." If the other two albums made it, this one certainly should.

Safe to say we'll also see entries from Dylan, Ray Charles, and the Beatles beyond what's already been there.
