This would be even better if you had a couple more guys with very different musical tastes. You guys seem pretty similar.

Re: Top 25 Albums of 1996-2006
I think I have a more electronic records on my list and JoA has more rap records. Regardless, I agree that overall we probably have very similar tastes. That said, you could always share you top 25 (not trying to be snide.). I'm always interested in seeing the musical tastes floating around 2p2.

Re: Top 25 Albums of 1996-2006
On with the list. Obvious bias in the fact that I detest radiohead and have never been able to like their music, thus the absence despite the widespread critical acclaim. With that said....
