For pop, read rock, pop, rap, R&B, hip-hop, and soul, including any music from other genres that played a huge influence on the development of the other styles listed. The rules are pretty simple. An album must be in print (as defined by being available new from Amazon at the time this list was created), and it must be an actual album, not a compilation (there is another list for those).
I would argue Original Pirate Material by The Streets for 2002...I remember it actually having a pretty considerable critical impact at the time, and The Streets have since become a pretty prominent artist.
I suspect it will pop up here next update!
Whenever that is. This was a lot of work, and it does not seem to be a very popular list, so we shall see...
Shalom, y'all!
