...was named today by the popular magazine Rolling Stone. As number one, they chose Radiohead - Ok Computer (story here)

Thoughts? Personally, I love this album, though I may not have called it #1 since 1985.

You can't say that and not offer and alternative of your own...

What would you have submitted as number one?

well it is a good album...but as for best album since 1985? out of all genres? i dunno about that...

I believe there is no "best album" voiced by opinion, as people are of varying tastes.
Radiohead suck imo.

Yeah i can see OK Computer being # 1, or at least in the top 5. It's not personal opinion, whether you like or dislike Radiohead, rather it's a brillaint album of awesome songwriting and performance.


You don't have to appreciate the album itself, but the musical genius behind it.

That album was certainly up there. It also seems like everyone owns at least one copy of it.

I don't know if that album is up for being the best in the last 20 years but I'm not sure what else I would have picked .... Pink Floyd ?

I dont think Pink Floyd has had a new release since 1985 (new meaning not jst digitally remastered albums or lyrics), but I could easily be wrong.

When was The Division Bell released? and A momentary Lapse of Reason?

i think those two are late 80s, early 90s.

Yeah, I always hate these lists because it's such a subjective topic, but damn, I swear that as soon as read the title I thought to myself "Hmmm... Amnesiac or OK Computer?"

And for the record, I would go so far as to say I hate the stereotypical Radiohead fan... that kind of weird combo between Goth and Indie/Emo Rocker... Maybe that's just where I'm from....

Division Bell... last official "Pink Floyd" album... I think'91, not sure though... Certainly no Roger Waters on that album though...

well what constitutes the best album of the last twenty years? is it the sound? its influence on society as a whole? a combination of things? what?


because i have a couple of albums in mind at the moment, but depending on the definition i could pick some over others...
