Here's the list. Here's what I have:
2000s

What's Going On-Marvin Gaye*-Motown, 1971 On LP and CD
Who's Next-The Who*-Mobile Fidelity, 1971 On LP and CD
After the Gold Rush-Neil Young*-Reprise, 1970 On LP, though I now have a digital copy
Bridge Over Troubled Water-Simon and Garfunkel*-Columbia, 1970 On LP, though most of the songs appear on the S&G CD box set, which I have.

Rubber Soul The Beatles*-Capitol, 1965 On LP and CD
1950s
Kind of Blue-Miles Davis-Sony, 1959
That's 58 out of 100. Some of the artists on the TIME list (Aretha, Robert Johnson, Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra), I have a box set of their music but not the specific discs mentioned. The ONLY thing on my "must get" list is:
Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music Ray Charles ABC/Paramount, 1962
The * means I have so many of this artist percentagewise, in relation to their total output, that it's a bit of a cheat to count. Given the number of LP/CD designations I have, I shan't worry as much about certain, let's say, technological innovations.

This is what Tosy has from the list.
