The band Bono calls the best in the world took top honors for best album of the last 20 years as compiled by SPIN magazine. I certainly have no quarrel with that.The SPIN top ten is:
1. Radiohead - 'Ok Computer'(1997)
2. Public Enemy - 'It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back’ (1988)
3. Nirvana - 'Nevermind' (1991)
4. Pavement - 'Slanted and Enchanted' (1992)
5. The Smiths - 'The Queen is Dead' (1986)
6. Pixies - 'Surfer Rosa' (1989)
7. De La Soul - '3 Feet High and Rising' (1989)
8. Prince - 'Sign O' The Times' (1987)
9. PJ Harvey - 'Rid of Me' (1993)
10. NWA - 'Straight Outta Compton' (1988)
Overall a pretty good top ten. However, I would have made room for The Joshua Tree.

I agree that Joshua Tree should have been included. It may be overplayed at times, but it is a legitimate classic. PE deserves to be there, and NWA WAS a classic. But no JT? Spin just lost major points. I guess JT isn't "hip" enough for their readers to appreciate.
