Fairly easy choice with Revolver. It has its moments (TMK is great, I'm Only Sleeping, Eleanor Rigby are quite good, and some other songs are nice) but it's also inconsistent and very far from a masterpiece imo -- from whichever angle one chooses to associate it as such. _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
The first half of the album is a legitimately great half album. The second half is kind of just there. Also, I kind of agree with Lastings

I think Nevermind is so high on the list because of what it represents and represented in the time it came out, rather than the music itself. I think if it came out in 1997, I don't think it would be as highly regarded as it is.
Nevermind forced labels to notice alt-rock bands, which definitely resulted in a bunch of great music getting exposure, but that shouldn't be relevant when assessing how great the album is itself. However, in my opinion, any album that sort of dies 5 tracks into its 12 track run-time doesn't deserve this level of celebration. I prefer In Utero personally, but that's just me.
After that, VU and Nico is my next choice. I strongly dislike the Nico features, and I prefer White Light/White Heat to this album. I think this one also gets a bit of a boost for being first, rather than being best.
That being said, I still think that all 10 of these are pretty great albums.
