I feel that Jimi Hendrix Experience's, "Are You Experienced" should be in the top ten for sure. It brought the genesis of feedback drenched guitar, in a way that had never been seen before, the power trio as a force for sonic might. Without that album and the Experience and Jimi there would be no sonic youth, no feedback loving ROCK juggernauts that we all love. Jimi Hendrix showed the true power of the electric guitar. In that way, Are You Experienced changed music forever.
all in all I think it is a very good list. The inclusion of the Spice Girls album is a fucking joke though. That album changed nothing. the incredibly pre-ordained media hype machinery to feed that album down ignorant 10 year old girls' throats is what "changed" things. Frankly I think it did not change anything. All it did was take what was already being donw (prefab music, pre-fab bands, carrtoons essentially) and do it in the most ostentatious way possible.
Talking Heads 77 is better than Fear of Music. they all rule though
