Nice, balanced list. I wonder what is the definition of a "Modern" album; I guess Images and Words isn't a modern album?.
I like Doolite more than Teenager of the Year (even if the later rulez). Björk's Debut is good, I don't like it as much as Homogenic (which isn't in the list). I prefer Kid A to The Bends, or Post. But overall, this guy seems to have similar musical taste as me, so I'll buy a few of these. BTW, wasn't Pavement supposed to be a The Fall ripoff? Not that I've heard The Fall (I live in Argentina), but I've read it.
