Spin's Top 20 Albums of last 20 years...

OK Computer on top...I can live with that! You can imagine usual so-called rap and grunge seminal selections. At least the Smiths made it.

I can also live with "OK Computer" by Radiohead being selected. I absolutley love that album. I might not have chosen it myself as THE top album of the pat 20 years, but it's definitely up there.

I picked up SPIN this morning and read through the 100 a

i'd say it's a pretty decent list. Not my Top 10, certainly, but Radiohead's OK Computer would be at the top of my list.

Surfer Rosa and Doolittle are both great, but i'd have to give Surfer Rosa the edge. Also, I would pick To Bring You My Love inste

I would say o.k computer is the best album to come out of the nineties. It is a great album, Paranoid android is one of my all-time fav songs.

Unfortunately Spin tries to be cooler than they really are sometimes, hence the rap album votes. Let's be serious, rap music has done nothing but stagnate for years. It should have died out a long time ago but it's so popular with the kiddies. It's what y

I'm so relieved there are plenty Radiohead fans on this board. Based on some previous threads I've been involved with you would think the 90's (and Radiohead) had no relevance in music history. "OK Computer" and "the Bends" are two of my favorites of all
