Tough choice!
The only ones I really like in that pile are Floyd and Zep.
Finalists were down to the Beatles and Nirvana, with that incessantly whining hack Kurt Cobain taking the ultimate prize.

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.

Nevermind
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

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.
