How many of them do you have. 62 for me though I suspect I'll never play half of them ever again.

I actually own only 25 but I know a lot more of them than that. I rarely play physical copies of music now.

I'm refusing to do it. I listen to good albums not arbitrarily influential ones. Illinoise my arse.

There's some great stuff in there too. Glad to see Pelaton by The Delgados there. A big personal favourite. And stuff like Astral Weeks - I love that album but I don't own it. I should probably sort that out.

I thought that was odd. I never really got into that album. Some tracks were OK. I suppose it has influenced a lot of modern British guitar bands though for better or worse.

I'm not doing it because I hate facebook applications that say 'allow access to your profile'. I would imagine I've got about five if that. Thought I saw nick drake on the front page of it and hope he is in there because he was rather wonderful, god love him.

Surely that first Libertines album should be in it 'cos of the annoying fact that it spawned a shit-ton of god awful gutter punk bands. That's influence for you right there - often a terrible thing. In fact, that first bloody Mumford and Sons album should be in there too for the same reason. A friend of mine who runs a rehearsal studios says that all the young bands come in an play Mumford songs. Bleak.

39 for me. Couldn't be any more indifferent. Some of the albums they've selected are mental. I Am Kloot - Gods and Monsters? Now I Am Kloot are brilliant but, come on...

Plenty of prog in there 'n' all. No wonder Bovine scored so highly...

Also, given that hip-hop has been the single most influential musical style/genre etc. since the blues (by a considerable distance) why is it so underrepresented?

Not sure why I'm trying to attach worth this list or owt but... y'know.
