Does anyone know why London Calling is not posted on the All Time Top Music list? The album has a perfect score (100) and enough reviews. I tried contacting MetaCritic, but never heard back.

Thanks

Probably because it's a re-release from before 2000.

No...the version Stooge City mentions was the 3-disc re-release from 2004 with the DVD and Vanilla Tapes cd. I raised this same question last year, but never got a clear answer. If a (new) Led Zep live record is eligible for very high Metascore, I don't see why a suitable enhanced reissue of a stone cold classic isn't in the same ballpark.

And, if re-releases don't count, why does the 2004 version of The Name of This Band is Talking Heads make the all-time high score list at #6?

The Essential Clash CD Was realeashed in 2003 with all their best stuff on.
