The 100 Greatest MPB Albums from Rolling Stone (Brasil)

This list of the 100 Greatest MPB Albums from Rolling Stone (Brasil) was published back in 2007, but it still makes interesting reading. I was struck by the number of albums on this list that also appeared on the list of the 30 top MPB albums that appeared in Estadão a couple months ago. 

I have copied the top 30 from the Rolling Stone list below, and highlighted albums that also appear in Estadão's list with bold italics. 

In a couple of cases, artists appeared on both lists, but not for the same album, so in those cases, the artist's name appears in bold italics.  

Rolling Stone ranked their choices, but Estadão listed them in chronological order, so it's not possible to compare rankings.

As you can see, 17 albums appear on both lists, and 19 artists appear on both.
