List here.
These things are always subjective, but man - I can't help but think that there is quite a lot missing on this list, both in impact, and in popularity.
From the 00's, you have Muddy Waters? A compilation? Not that Muddy Waters isn't great but, still. I'd like to see some nod to electronic - Paul Oakenfold, or Moby. At least Outkast is there. Even Dave Matthews makes more sense. You can make a case for Wilco as well, but that's more underground, so I can understand why not as influential.
From the 90's - you have the Chronic - but not Tupac? Not to mention - no Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Rage Against The Machine - both bands that redefined a new type of funky or harder sound. Alanis? That Jagged Little Pill? Again, quite influential for its time. (Overblown, but influential.)
From the 80's - Sign O' The Times? Come on...
No Police. (At least they have the Talking Heads).
On the other hand, it looks like the 1970's were pegged correctly, from the stuff I have from that time period (after the fact, in this case.)
Others thoughts? Paul?

A list without jagged little pill is no list at all. ;)
=)
No electronica? That list has no relevance to me.
Sometimes I think Time makes its lists using a lottery system.
the Ninja - well, she definitely was a BIG THING, as was that album.
Siona - a lottery system, but only with albums that make it in the top 250.
After that - yeah, pretty much.
