So good to see Biggie and The Smiths in there where they belong, but I've really got to question Elbow being in there; there's a point where surreal becomes ridiculous noise, and Elbow cross that line. I seriously recommend you try at least some of these albums, if you're at a loss where to start, I'd say start at the top; 'Blueprint' is seminal. Enjoy!
