Some observations:
  • Radiohead and the Beatles are probably actually underrepresented on that list.
  • I only have one Garrison Keillor album, and iTunes' shuffle feature apparently sucks.
  • I really need to get that Robert Plant album out of there.
  • Notably missing (with multiple albums and no hits): Pink Floyd, Nickel Creek (and any of their side projects and solo albums), Arcade Fire, Beck, Bob Dylan, Glenn Gould, The Rolling Stones, The Who.
