I don't think I've ever heard someone say that Battle Of Los Angeles is better than RATM Self-Titled, or Evil Empire let alone an entire organization.

I'm not "raging" at the list, but for a whole bunch of people to pick Battle Of LA over ST and Evil Empire is a bit of a head scratcher and I like Battle of LA A LOT.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is literally the only time this has occurred anywhere on the internet. the opinion is THAT far out there.

See Also: Vitalogy being listed over "Ten" for Pearl Jam.

The idea of a Drake album being ahead of "Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star"...

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

On the topic of bizarre albums by a band over their clasics, XTRMNTR over Screamadelica seems really odd

 

[Valhelm]

Number one is Nevermind by Nirvana!?

Oh, lordie...

 

[Yaboosh]

Lots of really good albums on that list.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Glad to see Coldplay on there. Surprised it was A Rush of Blood to the head over Viva la Vida, since that's usually the one people say is the best (if not that then shiver).

 

[MikeOxbig]

BAD is not on this list. That says it all. But why stop there? No room for Reflection Eternal - Train of Thought, but room for two Beyonce albums? One Roots album and it's Rising Down? And Blueprint better than Reasonable Doubt? Not on your life.

 

[whitemex88]

A couple things:

- I would have thought Blood Sugar Sex Magik was a lock to be on this list

- Alice in Chains Unplugged album is better than Nirvana's.

Nah, XTRMNTR is definitely up there. I'm a huge Primal Scream fan and I couldn't possibly choose between the two. Screamadelica and XTRMNTR are their masterpieces, Vanishing Point, More Light and Sonic Flower Groove make up the rest of the top 5.

How is a fucking Courtney Love album rated higher than The Downward Spiral? Lol

 

[Teggy]

283. Superchunk, I Hate Music (Merge, 2013)

I'm happy to see this, but it implies that SPIN thinks this is their best record, which is just nonsense, especially when Foolish was SPIN's #11 record of 1994.

 

[OuterLimits]

Good list. Except that it has Oasis. Ugh.

Although Enigma should have been included with either MCMXC a.D or Cross of Changes.

 

[23qwerty]

no glass swords? lol

 

[dbztrk]

No Sade? What a dumb list.

I haven't looked at the list in its entirety but if Sade is not on this list then yeah... The list is dumb.

 

[Fragamemnon]

Really good list. I'm not going to hold it up completely for missing one or two specific albums or ranking some too high/too low, just based off of inclusions it's a fine big slice (not the entirety) of the best collected works of the period.

Since we're bitching though:

Souvlaki got robbed.

Heavy on albums from 1995-2005
