This is a message board for.... I'd say, an 80% rock n roll concert venue, what do you expect? I think I listed like 3 or 4 hip hop albums and 1 dance album.

Well I would consider Dresden Dolls album cabaret.  And I am sure some of the Magnetic Fields songs might be considered something besides rock.  I don't care for Blues or Rap.  Jazz can be good but not good enough to make my top 11.

4, Black Sabbath - Vol.4
