"the top album of the past 20 years"

Why am I skeptical?

[RadioAstronomer]

I like this album.

[thefactor]

haven't seen the list, but is Pearl Jam "10" on the list? good lord that is a great album.

[LdSentinal]

Radiohead? Scott Tenorman's favorite band.

[ConservativeStatement]

"Rubberneck" by the Toadies is one I always liked; "Undertow" by Tool; "Master of Puppets" by Metallica; "Nevermind" by Nirvana.

[sharktrager]

I have to say it's hard to argue with. It's an album that has remained well respected since it's release. Others have sold more, but this album is consistently listed as a favorite by many huge music fans and performers. Damned If I Know

[BADROTOFINGER]

Man. On my own personal list I would put...

Operation: Mindcrime, Queensryche
Sweet Tea, Buddy Guy
Ride The Lightning, Metallica
Ten, Pearl Jam

...and thats just off the top of my head...JFK

the top album of the past 20 years

If anything worth listening to came out during the past 20 years, it's news to me. ;O)

[My Favorite Headache]

Here...let me fix that for Spin...I think they meant to say this was the best of the last 20 yrs....

[Clemenza]

In NO particular order:

U2: Joshua Tree

Metallica: Master of Puppets

Green Day: Dookie

Live: Throwing Copper

Public Enemy: It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

Notice that there is nothing past 1994 on my list.
