Surprised SICP isn't mentioned.

SICP isn't a research publication—it's a pedagogical work. It's been very valuable as a textbook for CS students, but I don't think it contributed any significant ideas to the field of PL.

Most of the papers listed on the page are PL theory papers, PL is a much bigger discipline than just theory. Some of the papers at the end are more design and/or implementation papers (e.g. the Self paper).
