Out of Time is the seventh studio album by American alternative rock band R.E.M., released on March 12, 1991, by Warner Bros. Records. With Out of Time, R.E.M.'s status grew from that of a cult band to a massive international act. The record topped the album sales charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom, spending 109 weeks on U.S. album charts, with two separate spells at the top, and spending 183 weeks on the British charts, including one week at the top. The album has sold more than four and a half million copies in the United States and more than 18 million copies worldwide and was certified 4× Platinum by the RIAA. Out of Time won three Grammy Awards in 1992: one as Best Alternative Music Album, and two for its first single, "Losing My Religion".

Add “Country Feedback” to the playlist please.

By my count, that’s the fifth song I’ve gotten to pick for the list. Am I ahead on that?

White Blood Cells is the third studio album by American rock duo the White Stripes, independently released by the Sympathy for the Record Industry on July 3, 2001. Recording took place in Memphis, Tennessee at Easley-McCain Recording over three days, and was produced by guitarist and lead vocalist Jack White. Production was rushed in order to capture a "real tense feeling" and the band's energy, and was their first album to be mastered in a studio.

I think the five songs that Mr R and I picked are all ranked higher by me. Not really sure, though.

Probably the most glaring omission from my list.

We’ve been busting the chops of the Rannouses, but are the Castros also a voting bloc?

They alone have not put any albums into the Top 350 (with only votes from two of them) - the Rannous block has done it 5 times already - but Castros have matched up a number of times.

I’d expect brothers that grew up together to like the same music. That was my experience with most of the brothers I know/knew.

My younger brother grew up listening to hip hop and is now a huge country music fan. These are the two types of music I like least

That's correct plus there was the Blondie album we (and others) chose and you were high score.

Quadrophenia is the sixth studio album by the English rock band the Who, released as a double album on 26 October 1973 by Track Records. It is the group's third rock opera, the previous two being the "mini-opera" song "A Quick One, While He's Away" (1966) and the album Tommy (1969). Set in London and Brighton in 1965, the story follows a young mod named Jimmy and his search for self-worth and importance. Quadrophenia is the only Who album entirely written by Pete Townshend.

I would have bet heavily that this would have been at least Top 100 - obviously Top 5 for me.

This album is so powerful but so theatrical at the same time. So many classic songs that work inside of the rock opera and on their own as hard rock songs.

Awesome! It's my favorite from The Who. I thought I had an outside chance of getting high score even if I might have underrated it in my scoring. Happy to see a couple other fans here.

I am guessing in this format and with people limiting themselves to an album or two/artist, the 3 albums before this one soaked up many of the votes.
