Aparte de para descubrir cosas sirve para comprobar cómo Amazon ya posiciona el último disco de Animal Collective como su mejor entrega, la excelente valoración de ‘Michigan’ de Sufjan Stevens o el ‘Coquelicot’ de Of Montreal. Para citar ausencias hay que pensar mucho, que a ver quién se acuerda de qué disco de qué grupo se editó en una compañía independiente y cuál no. Con la tontería de la independencia y los sellos, algunos están en Spotify y Yes.fm y otros no.
Por cierto, anteriormente habían listado los mejores debuts de la historia (en el número 1, U2) y los mejores álbumes de cantautor de la historia (en el número 1, ‘Blonde On Blonde’), entre otros.
