It's nice to see a list of such variety...
However, are Radiohead really as dominating as you suggest in your top 5?
Personally, I believe 'Kid A' will hold up much longer than 'The Bends' in 20 years, but that's just me.
Agreeing, 'OK Computer' is undoubtedly the finest recording of the 90's. Even today, it's a few steps ahead of the game. Too bad 'Hail to the Thief', hot off the presses, pails in comparison.
Continuing, Dave Matthews Band's best album 'Under the Table and Dreaming' deserves a spot I guess, but not the follow up 'Crash'. I think those two albums would work together as a double LP. Anyhow, regretfully DMB seems to be done for.
Two hip hop milestones, 'The Chronic' and 'Doggystyle' are nicely incorporated. You definetely don't see those given much recognition on this site until now.
Also, it's refreshing to see another list without the worthy, yet overrated, 'Nevermind', by Nirvana lingering near the top 5. I think "Rolling Stone" brainwashed the public into thinking this was the second coming...but 'In Utero' is truly a defining moment for this generation.
Well, I guess that's about all. I hope to see a 2000-present list from you soon.
