Everyone loves a good list. Amazon. com has posted a list of the top 100 indie albums of all time.

Their criteria:

• One album per artist.

• No EPs or singles, this list is about albums.

• No greatest hits collections or compilations of previously released tracks.

• Nominations must have been originally released on an independent label. Albums released on indies which were later acquired and/or re-released by majors are allowed (like Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation, originally released by a pre-1989 major label merger Enigma Records).
