U2 is number one huh? That's as good as Pitchfork saying Bombs Over Baghdad was the best song of the last decade. :

[exitenglish1208]

the fact that lil' wayne is anywhere near that list destroys all credibility for it.

[dynamitekid]

if you don't look at it as a countdown, then its not so bad.

[adamlikesmusic]

Kind of surprised to see Hüsker Dü rounding out the top 15.

[desensitizedbyu]

I hate these lists.

[saxamaphone]

No.

I'm searching for Refused, because every time I think of that album, I try to think of better albums from the last 20 years or so and struggle.

Edit:

After reading that list I see how horribly dumb that statement is in a larger pool of music. I always think of it much more focused towards specific genres.

[mattisr1984]

completely meaningless. i hate these fucking lists.

[rtw88]

I hate these lists.

[One Hundred Fifty-Two]

From the responses I don't feel like opening the link.

[circlingvultures]

Anything involving a top anything list posted in Spin or Rolling Stone probably couldn't be further from my own personal interests.

[hoss]

completely meaningless. i hate these fucking lists.

[devinr]

I jumped to number one, saw U2 and promptly disregarded the rest of the list.

[chiefwahoo]

I guess I'm in the minority because I actually like these lists. It always gets me to listen to albums that I probably should have checked out by now. The older I get, the more I get out of looking back for the good stuff I missed.

"Sign O' The Times" by Prince ranks second and that's pretty awesome. I randomly picked that up within the last six months or so and it's so damn good. The fact that it's second just makes me want to check this list out even more.

But not "Achtung Baby". I already know I hate U2.

[roadmonkey]

While I disagree with the order of the albums of the list, If you asked me what my fav albums were since the time I was like 10, most of those albums would be on that list.

[Fartcat]

That list can suck my dick.

That list can suck my dick.

[controlthebleeding]

I always wonder how they come up with these lists. IS there a poll or something? Because that list couldn't be farther from the truth.

I wasn't surprised that "Nevermind" was on there. Good album, but great... c'mon really?

[scully]

I'm a sucker for lists, even when they're not that good. I own 23 of these albums. There are a bunch more that I once owned but they don't hold up well today.

[bill]

I wish these magazines would have better ideas for lists, greatest albums lists really are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

[silentgods]

that list is bullshit.

That album is flawless. I love it. It's definitely justifiable to have it in the top 10.

[smailtronic]

No Pinkerton = Failboat

[jhulud]

I glanced at the list and only ready the entries for bands and albums I'm into. A few made me go "Really?!?!"...didn't see what the big deal of some. Oh well.
