HP/De Tijd (The Netherlands) - Sorry, Jan [Top 100 Albums of the Last 25 Years] (2001)

Lists by single critics or musicians, published in magazines or on websites, have lower priority. The amount of such lists would be impossible to handle.
(However, priority is given to single author lists from books, very famous music critics and artists with albums or songs ranked on Acclaimed Music. Single author lists are also more likely to get priority if they are not limited to a genre or artist.)

HP/De Tijd (The Netherlands) - Sorry, Jan [Top 100 Albums of the Last 25 Years] (2001)

As ever, I defer to the website:
Under this title, HP/De Tijd of 22 June 2001 published a response to the Jan Donkers-compiled list (Fifty years, one hundred hits) [aka the last list I posted] with the best rock records of the last 50 years. Freya Zandstra (incorrectly) names 100 albums from the last 25 years that Jan [in her opinion] overlooked. "Not everything is made for eternity. In that sense, Jan Donkers had rock's top 100 right. A nice choice, but - sorry, Jan - a choice for the past."
Unlike Jan's list, this would appear to be in alphabetical order (and I believe some were on his list as well).

Both of these lists could do without so many compilations, especially from a couple of artists whose albums are just as good as any best-of compilation (I mean, really? Your representative of The Cure is a compilation? A very good compilation, yes, but couldn't you pick an actual album like Disintegration or The Head on the Door?). It also has a bunch of albums from 1969-1975, which is definitely earlier than 25 years prior if the original list and the response were both made in 2001. A for effort, I suppose, since these are at least good albums by and large (and yeah, it IS nice to see more from after the '70s or early '80s).

This is a reaction list by one person made as a response to a list also made by one person. Should that really be included. At least the original list was made by a major music expert, but I have a hard time finding out who Freya Zandstra is. As far as I (and Google) can tell this is the only music-related thing she ever published.
