I really can't fault their pick of OK COMPUTER as best album. But if LOVELESS were #1 I wouldn't fault that either. I think one Pavement album in the top 10 is enough. If I had bought CROOKED RAIN back when it came out (if at all), I might think it deserved that spot. Never heard that Bonnie Prince Billy album. Nor do I have much experience with Guided by Voices. SPIDERLAND makes my top 5 easy, but #12 is respectable I guess. I haven't really yet gotten inside AEROPLANE but I understand it being in the top 10. I love SOFT BULLETIN but even I probably wouldn't put it in the top 10. I wish I had my own top 100 handy. It was on a website that got yanked, but I think still have the code at home. I have Jesus Lizard's GOAT high up in my list, they have it at #38, not bad. At least LIAR is also in there. But no Melvins.. weird. Oh, and Beck's MUTATIONS would be high on my list. Though ODELAY is pretty groundbreaking too.

But anyway, I think it's a good list, not a great list. No matter how you rank them, there are some great albums on that list, but also a lot of great ones that aren't.
