(hoe kwam de eindlijst tot stand? de nummer 1 van een top 10 kreeg 10 punten, de nummer 2 9 punten etc. bij gelijk aantal punten is gekeken naar welk album het vaakst werd genoemd. waar nodig is vervolgens gekeken naar betere noteringen. lijstjes met een willekeurige volgorde zijn niet meegeteld. de top 10 van mark lanegan is afkomstig van boomkat.com)
