Scott, that's a pretty interesting list, thanks for posting it! 

Perhaps the most noticeable thing about it is it's diversity.  The editors depart from the Pringle approach and allow an author only a single work, thereby listing 101 different authors!  This contributes to the fact that some higher profile works are omitted in favor of less notable ones.  Many many award winning books are missing (only 10 out of 26 Hugo winners made the cut, 8 Nebula winners, 5 BSFA, 7 Locus SF and 8 Clarke).  In fact, 42 of the books weren't even nominated for any award at all.

Of these 101 books, I've read 62 of them, ranking 26 of those as being average or less (24 were 7/10, Galatea 2.2 was a 6/10 and Distance Haze was a 5/10).

Perhaps the most notable omission is Dan Simmons' Hyperion.  Some other authors that I would have liked to see represented are Vonda N. McIntyre, Sheri S. Tepper and Jo Walton.  But that's what makes these lists fun!  My favorite quirky inclusion is Richard Calder's outrageous Dead Girls.

@Dave:  I'm another who'd like to see this list added when you can.  BTW, you're only shy 21 books: Vonnegut's Galapagos is here, as is The Sea and Summer (which is the original title of Turner's Drowning Towers), but Sedia's The Alchemy of Stone is missing.

Boo-yah!  My thanks to jynnandtonnyx for getting those last 20 or so books into the DB.  By the way, Scott Laz posted an excellent review of the book the other day which was the impetous for getting this knocked out.  I'll be posting his review in the blog tomorrow now that the list is done.  Enjoy!

@Emil: If you read through the Pringle list and then through this new one you'd have a pretty good grasp of the genre by the end and an impressive collection of SF on your shelf!
