Interlude
Before we continue our countdown of all-time greatest pop/rock albums, we're taking a brief respite to give you, dear reader, a chance to participate. So in Friday Five fashion (and with apologies to the real deal, which is actually pretty good this week, and you should take time to go there and fill out your own after you're done here), bloggedy blog asks you to respond to any or all of the following five questions in the comments form. (Or post the answers on your blog and leave a link in the comments form.)

1. What one album on this list so far clearly does not belong in the top 100?

2. What two albums currently not on this list (and that you doubt will make the top 40) should be?

3. Which of these three-person groups currently on our list (ZZ Top, Black Sabbath Rush, or Crosby, Stills and Nash) is the best? (Thanks to MarcV for pointing out that the original Black Sabbath was a four-man band. We've replaced them with Rush.)

4. What are the four greatest live albums ever made?

5. Create your own personal "top 5" list of greatest pop/rock albums and post it here.

Thanks for playing!

In other blogosphere news related to this countdown:

As we unveil the composite countdown here, SteelerDirtFreak is listing his own top 100.

Ganns posts an eloquent argument for including Wilson Phillips, etc., on his list of all-time greats. (Scroll down to his Monday, March 8, entry, beneath the cute baby pics.)

Thanks to Josh Claybourn, Steve Beard/Thunderstruck and MusicSpectrum, among others, for linking to this countdown and driving hits my way.
