I see Bettye LaVette - Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook didn't make the list but that's not that surprising since it is a reader's choice list and most people have no taste.
The Robert Plant disc Band of Joy is the shit.
And The Big To Do is waaaay too low at #43.
By the time you drop them I'll be gone
And you'll be right where they fall the rest of your life
