OK, I saw this on another site, and I found it quite intriguing.

http://www.spin.com/spin25/125-best-albums-past-25-years#page=14

Here's the top 10:
1. U2-Achtung Baby
2. Prince-Sign O The Times
3. The Smiths-The Queen is Dead
4. Nirvana-Nevermind
5. Radiohead-OK Computer
6. Public Enemy-It Takes a Nation of Millions...
7. Guns N Roses-Appettite For Destruction
8. PJ Harvey-Rid of Me (not even on the top 500 :o)
9. Pavement-Slanted and Enchanted
10. NIN-The Downward Spiral

Yes, I know. The list is quite, erm, "eccentric", but it certainly is an interesting proposition. What do you guys think of it? Should we add it to our own supply of charts?

A good selection even if i don't really agree about their nยฐ1 ...and The Strokes only at the #18.

Crazy list.

I am hugely disappointed that Disintegration is not in this list. Out of 125 albums, they could have slipped it in. Instead they put Head On The Door in there.

Ho-hum.

wtf... PJ Harvey is finally getting the recognition she deserves... definately one of the top five musicians in the 90s

A few good choices, a whole lot of bad choices, and almost no surprises.

Pretty par for the course in terms of magazine lists.

Where was Neutral Milk Hotel on the list? Surely it warrants a top 5 place? EPIC FAIL!!!

That's a legitimate criticism, but overall, it's not a bad list. What's the rationale for the last 25 years? Is it like, now that the gen-xer's have been in the critical sphere for a while and are moving toward middle age, it's their turn to make a list? It's kind of like the gen-X answer to the Baby Boomer dominated Rolling Stone list a few years back.
