Of minor interest: there were some people talking who I'd never seen before, like Tony Asher and some others who I can't remember, so fat lot of good it did me.
How much do pudits gets for their punditry on thse programmes? They are rubbish and they ruin everything. The woman talking about Bjork was particularly bad, I thought.

Who was that ass that invoked Stockhausen at one point anyhow? Looking at the list, I can't even remember whose genius he was talking about at the time either. Coldplay?

What I could stand to watch is a program about one persons top 100 albums, not neccesarily anyone that famous maybe, but it would possibly say more about music than any daft poll.
My Suggestions-

The fact that he's not C4 dial a quote material is academic, or possibly more attractive.

And I suppose it does reflect the passing fancy of John Q. Public, but America has better taste than to rank Pink Floyd so fucking high.
And let me be frank, the Smiths were a singles band and we all fucking know it.
Silly Brits!

BLACK SABBATHOUTKASTTHE CLASHPUBLIC ENEMYKRAFTWERK
etc.
Anyway, I think the "choices" for the list reek of cultural revisionism and a Anglo-centricism (particularly the disproportionate representation of Manchester) that is out of touch with most UKers realistic perception of pop music.
Also: no Iggy Pop or Stooges.
