And so there you have it. This list actually makes me feel as though my musical horizons aren't as broad as what they could be. There are a few artists I've never even heard of. Some I've heard of in passing but haven't actually heard their music. Others still don't even deserve to be on the list. I guess good music is not necessarily a unversal thing, it's more personal than what a lot of people think. But that's a good thing! Otherwise we might all be stuck listening to Spears, Celine or maybe even William Shatner!

    i rarely pay attention to lists like this, since most mainstream media dont actually investigate different kinds of music. they only pay attention to the tip of the iceberg. there's TONS of excellent music that flies under the radar. but ones that definitely should have made the list for their contributions to music include the following. dream theater? pantera? the police? rush? sarah mclachlan? queensryche? meshuggah? alice in chains?

    I never pay attention to these lists. Because they're always quite bad. There are some good albums on that list, but that doesn't make it a good list.

    What's wrong with William Shatner? The man is a legend! Just listen to Common People...

    Ah, William Shatner is not the first one to do Common People. Check out a U.K. band called 'Pulp' to hear the much better original version.

    Never heard of them! ;)

    Good choices on the list, but I don't agree with the ordering. Nice to see the Smiths getting a high spot (though their debut surely warrants another spot), same for Pavement. It's also nice to see Dinosaur Jr. and The Fall getting recognition, while I think the Stone Roses deserve a much higher spot. OK Computer and Nevermind are standard picks in all of these lists, but I feel they're both overrated. I'm puzzled as to why they chose De La Soul Is Dead over 3 Ft. High And Rising, no contest between the two in my eyes. Battle Of Los Angeles over Rage's debut? -Dan

    Hmm, my eyes are bad, I now see 3 Ft. High And Rising is number 7! Also nice seeing Jeff Buckley on there. I just noticed Primal Scream, Massive Attack, and the Happy Mondays are missing though... -Dan

    Yipes!! I guess that's why I don't trust SPIN with my musical decisions!

    Not a bad list, if you simply consider the somewhat mainstream of the last 20 years. Although I think they should have included The Smashing Pumpkins Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness instead of Siamese Dream, and in a much higher spot.

    wow, they are all over public enemy's balls.

    Reign in Blood and Master of Puppets are on there... but not Rust in Peace? Rust in Peace was a better thrash album then either of those albums...

    Don't even start... Nothing will come close to MoP! Megadeth is a joke. Mustaine sings like a pussy and the guitarwork isn't much better.

    Don't even start... Nothing will come close to MoP! Megadeth is a joke. Mustaine sings like a pussy and the guitarwork isn't much better. Wow, Why Metallica started going downhill when they ran out of Mustaine riffs to use around MOP or AJFA?

    Rust in Peace is a great album. Your chart is decent, with a lot of good albums, but missed on a lot of important albums too.

    There are some really good choices there but like most mainstream top-whatever lists, most selections seem incredibly safe.

    Where's Throwing Copper?

    It's very sad that an entry FROM TWO YEARS AGO can still be seen on the page of such a fantastic album as Up On the Sun.
