The best-ranked:

1-50: 19
51-100: 25
101-150: 16
150-200: 15

The worst-ranked:

1-50: 3
51-100: 2

I like all these I own or else I'd have sold them by now. I do see a few I sold back among both lists. Many of the my personal favorite albums during the years of these lists weren't reviewed by Metacritic.

I must hate what critics like. I only own 4 of the top 200, and i have a load of cds (of course, I don't own TOO many from the past 5 years, but I have a fair amount).
1-50: 1 (Queens of the Stone Age - SFTD)
51-100: 0
101-150: 3 (Mogwai - HSFHP, Trail of the Dead - ST&C, Radiohead - HTTT
151-200: 0

I also have four from the worst list.
Run DMC - Crown Royal; pretty average in my opinion.
Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Shit yada yada; What do ya want? I bought it in grade 7 for 4 bucks and was anable to sell it at a used cd store 2 years later because they "had too many already". Haha.
Helmet - Size Matters; mindless, not as good as their early efforts, but still good.
311 - DTOM; has some great material on it. Except for Frolic Room.

Hadn't noticed STUDIO 150 got such a lousy Metacritic score. I thought it was Weller's best album since Stanley Road- with the possible exception of the new one. Ah, the critics have always hated his solo stuff.


Take it easy...

Of the best ranked I own:

1-50 = 22
51-100 = 11
101-150 = 10
151-200 = 6

Worst 100:
I own one - Godsmack - "Faceless". It's extremely mediocre and I've probably only listened to it 5 times or less. I doubt it was truly one of the worst 100 though.

By my count, I have 10 of the Top 200 albums (Dizzee Rascal's Boy in da Corner, Outkast's Speakerboxx/The Love Below, Sufjan Stevens' Iliinois, the Arcade Fire's Funeral, the Avalanches' Since I Left You, Antony and the Johnsons' I am a Bird Now, Franz Ferdianand's self-titled, Radiohead's Hail to the Thief, and the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and The Soft Bulletin).

I don't own any of the Bottom 100 records, as I'm not lame like that.

Top 200: 69 owned, 1 formerly owned and sold (Sung Tongs)

Bottom 100: 1 owned, 2 formerly owned and sold.

The one I still own I used to like a lot when it came out and now I think is 'Okay'. The other two I think are 'Okay'. These three are Eve 6, Matchbox Twenty, and Cake.

Of course, I bet like 75% of the stuff I bought between 1995 and 2000 would be in the 'yellow' range if Metacritic covered back then. It wasn't till I started listening to classic rock in 2001 that I figured out all the stuff I liked was crap.

I own 10.000 fists by Disturbed, and I honestly can't believe it's actually in the bottom 100.. It's one of the better albums I've heard this year.

A revised count: 100 of the Top 200, and 1 of the bottom 100 (Trick's Mission Accomplished, which I overlooked originally).

I have some albums on the top 200. But I can just say that I have Liz Phair's s/t and I like it. It is, however, the only album I have on the bottom 100. And it's not bad.

I looked over the current list, and have new counts:

1--50: 9
51-100: 13
101-150: 15
151-200: 8

45 out the top 200. I only include records that I still own...I've traded in a lot of stuff that I've accumulated over the last 3 years that I just don't like, many of them in the top 200 (Arcade Fire, White Stripes, Devendra Banhart, Wolf Parade, Broken Social Scene).

I proudly own 8 of the 100 worst. Most shocking to me was that The Ordinary Boys' Brassbound is presently the 52nd worst ranked album on the site. It's a top 5 for my 2005 list.

I own these (among the worst rated) and like them: Phil Collins - Testify, Liz Phair - self-tited.

I do my own user reviews at Metacritic under "Matt," FYI. You've probably seen me, as I do a lot of ratings.

69 From the Top 200:
1-50: 26
51-100: 17
101-150: 14
151-200: 12

Four from the bottom 100:
Eve 6, Weezer, The Vines, and the Mooney Suzuki. I kind of like the Eve 6 as a (very) guilty pleasure, the others are bad but have a couple of strong tracks that keep them from being completely worthless. Mooney Suzuki is probably the worst out of those four.

I own 43 total of the best 200.
1-50: 16
51-100: 13
101-150: 9
151-200: 5

And I don't own any of the 100 worst. Although i am still shocked that Weezer's newest album was such a bomb, does anybody own it and think that it is great or at least good because the critics sure don't seem to think so.

I own 20 of the top 200.

I (thankfully) don't own any of the bottom 100, but I must admit that I've spent some time listening to Duke Lion Fights The Terror!! by Big Dumb Face. Not sure why, but I kind of find this album entertaining.

1-50 = 32
51-100 = 19
101-150 = 22
151-200 = 18

So that's 91 out of 200 with a few still to be bought. Depressing yet pride-filling at the same time.

I have:
1-50: 24 (+ 1 owned and sold My Morning Jacket -"Z")
51-100: 14
101-150: 6
151-200: 9

And none of the lowest 100. But of course, I have bad records. They are just older than that list.
