Agreed, that list (essentially their version of the best albums of the decade) is, while nothing like my own list would be, much better than any I've read from major sites like pitchfork or nme.

Yeah, I mean, saying that an album by some band isn't "real" because it wasn't produced byt the sam people who used to be in the band is kind of a copt-out, which is why I put the term in quotation marks. But fans of the band are perfectly entitled to ignore it because at least for me there are really more reasons to not even care it exists than not.
E. Spaceman:
Consider this, if Jagger, Richards, Watts all quit and Darryl Jones managed through legal wrangling to keep the name The Rolling Stones, would you say that the following albums are actually by the same band that brought us Let It Bleed?

Is Chinese Democracy really a Guns n' Roses album?
look out! Ninjas!:
I'd say that in contexts like that you could easily split a bands output into separate eras depending on who the major influence in the band was at the time. So post-Guns GnR, for example, or post everybody Velvet Underground, or post-Barret Pink Floyd.
How fine you make the split is up for grabs. I'd say it'd have to be a departure of the lead songwriter and a then clear change in the bands style as the rest of the members/the replacement make their mark, like Pink Floyd post-Piper.
