Lot´s of very good picks.
Love Tom Waits, Violent Femmes, Sonic Youth... Love to see so many ENO albums.
Sorry, but I´m not into your Hard-Rock, and Metal albums.

Twenty-six albums in common, interesting given likely different exposure and quantified opinions. Fairly obvious to see how our rankings lead to our different taste.
