Some help

There are three 15 Million Sellers that came out before the other lists were created. The only other list they can be on is the Rolling Stone list, which they are not, because they are old.
The Billboard Pop, R&B, and Country lists began in 1946.
Grammy for Best Record began in 1959. Leans pop (both the sound and the ularity)
Pazz and Jop began in 1979. Leans hipster
Rolling Stone leans rock n roll.

The Sex Pistols--Anarchy in the UK
The Clash--London Calling
Fugazi--Waiting Room

Taking a flyer on that last one--RS always talks about how great Fugazi is, but I don't if they actually include their work in lists like this. We'll find out, I guess.
