So under these new "looser" guidelines would Substance count?
What about Depeche Mode's 101, one of my favorites.
New Order "Substance" would count. And will probably be highly ranked. And DM "101" will definitely garner strong consideration, depending on which othe DM albums are chasen and how many. I would say 101 and Violator would pretty much cover it, except you know hom much I love washed-up Depeche Mode!
Kid A is a genuine masterpiece.
