Well I wouldn't expect to see several Tom Waits albums on a mainstrean list, or Leonard Cohen either for that matter. However Springsteen was huge in the 80's and they chose his quiet solo work (which I happen to love). Paul Simon was certainly mainstream and his Graceland album was also huge and it's on that list, as is GNR's Appetite for Destruction.

It certainly isn't my choice of a list but I like a lot of their choices.
