There are some albums in there that definitely should make the list but the order is jacked up. Also some of those albums dont deserve to be in the top 500. If you're gonna have a Roots Manuva album in there it has to be "Run Come Save Me". Pretty weak list overall.

^ You don't like Cuban Linx Refused? I have no problem with it being number 1, definitely top 3 material. As far as the rest goes, I agree. Wack. Especially the order. But I never take any of these lists seriously.
and Point some of the albums you mentioned came out before 1995 so I think that's why they're not there.

I liked Cuban Linx but I honestly never really got into it enough to be in my top favorite albums, specially #1. I think i should go listen to it again.
