The 100 Best Albums on eMusic (US list)

"A month ago, we asked you to tell us your favorite albums of all time available on eMusic. Boy did you! Thousands of ballots later, a consensus began to emerge. Many of the picks were expected. Many more were not. Over the next week, we will unveil the results piece by piece, culminating in the top picks of each regional site (US, UK, Europe and Canada) being announced on Monday.

A few notes on the methodology: a #1 vote was worth ten points, a #2 vote nine points, etc."
