These kinds of lists are usually kind of shit, but this one is actually pretty decent. I would argue with some of the ranking, and if you're only going to pick one 13th Floor Elevators record, it should be Easter Everywhere, but it's pretty decent overall. The only thing they really missed was early '60s instrumental/surf rock. They should have put an early Ventures record on there (or my pick, the Surf Teens LP).
