According to Spin, that hallowed designation belongs to none other than Radiohead's OK Computer. It edged out Nirvana and Public Enemy for the top spot. The latest issue of Spin features the top 100 albums released in the past 20 years. It is an eclectic mix including 25 hip-hop records. I still say Radiohead's Kid A is the better album and it is sacrilege not to have Jeff Buckley's Grace in the top 10.
Spin's Top 10
1. OK Computer, Radiohead
2. It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Public Enemy
3. Nevermind, Nirvana
4. Slanted and Enchanted, Pavement
5. The Queen Is Dead, Smiths
6. Surfer Rosa, Pixies
7. 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul
8. Sign 'O' the Times, Prince
