I think you're right on most of this. Frankly I think punk deserves it's own category, but you're lucky to get a decent punk thread going at /mu/. Punk's dead to a lot of people unfortunately, despite the impact it had and continues to have. Bad Brains' S/T titled is seminal though. Everytime I hear hardcore outside of Punk circles I hear Bad Brains and Minor Threat. Zen Arcade is also included in the list.
Metal
I think it's good, Although I wish they had less Black Metal. I would also change out the Death, Deftones, and Mastodon albums for their more popular counterparts. I'd chuck in Cynic's debut in there too.
