A lot of odd choices, but the main takeaway is that it was likely someone under 30 who had final say on the list. No other way to explain why Austra is even on here. I like them just fine but putting them in the top 50 doesn't make any sense.
The Top 10 is decent... but putting The Weeknd and Rush back to back on any list doesn't feel right, as great as those albums are. We need waiting periods for albums before they are dubbed 'best-something-of-all-time', sort of like the five year period after baseball players retire until they can be elected to the Hall of Fame.
Nice linkbait on the mag's part though. Some interesting conversations happening in the comments too.
