AMF Aggregation Updates

[Holden]

Recently I started a new project in which I aggregate all of the polls done by AMF over the years into a list to find our definitive favorite albums. The final equation weighs the amount of participants, year of release, amount of albums ranked, and category (such as yearly, decade, or all-time) of the poll. It will take a while, but here is the top 20 from the first update

I'm praying that OK Computer doesn't take the top stop this year.
