13. SANTANA, SUPERNATURAL (1999)

yikes. I mean it's fine I guess, but the Beatles alone might have 13 albums better than this.

I lost my ability to give a rat's ass about this list when I saw the Dixie Chicks ranked ahead of Marvin Gaye. A serious WTF to the people who put this together.

[gusmahler]

There are 3 Dixie Chicks albums on the list.

#44 Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet
#49 Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers

Sweet!

The list was put together by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers. They're basically trying to push these 200 albums. Presumably, there'll be kiosks and endcaps with these CDs prominently displayed
