Because we can never have enough lists to discuss - here's TIME's list of the 100 most influential records (which goes all the way back to 1954 and Frank). Praise it or smack it (these things tend to be built mostly for the latter - well, apart from sales) at your leisure.
Some of it is oh so familiar (look at the choices from 1966 and 1967) and seemingly beyond criticism (OK Computer), but some of it ... well, some might disagree, but including The Stones Roses doesn't seem nearly as odd to me as including Like a Prayer.
