Is it just me, or does this list look like the album also had to be in the top hundred albums of all time as well?

Yea, it just seems like whatever band they're in love with got a slot rather than judged on the artwork.

I'd consider these:
AFI- Sing The Sorrow
Bad Religion- Suffer
Elliott Smith- XO
The Police- Synchronicity
Johnny Cash- American III
Sigur Ros- ( )
The White Stripes- Get Behind Me Satan
