Where is 'Spice World'?

Spin Magazine, a mag which perhaps hasn't had any relevance since the mid 1990s, put out its list of the top 100 albums of the last 20 years. While I am surprised that Spin faveraves of recent like the Killers are not in the top 10, it is not too surprising who is:

10. N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton
9. PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me
8. Prince - Sign O The Times
7. De La Soul - 3 Ft. High And Rising
6. Pixies - Surfer Rosa
5. The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
4. Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted
3. Nirvana - Nevermind
2. Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
1. Radiohead - OK Computer

the entire list


Interesting choices:
#45 Kanye West- The College Dropout (apparently better than Eric B & Rakim's 'Paid in Full', Jay-Z's 'Blueprint' and DJ Shadow's 'Entroducing')
#19 Hole- Live Through This (better in SPIN's world than a lot of quality albums, including the Pixies' 'Doolittle', Nirvana's 'In Utero', Jeff Buckley's 'Grace', and Biggie's 'Ready to Die').

Yeah, not an entirely interesting list after all. I'm glad Oasis is on there, however.

Hey, Meg, not that you care... But I just wanted to say, I really liked the simplicity of this layout at first, but I miss your graphics, and the colorful nature of your layouts, so if you ever are updating the look of this, you should do more of the fresh colorful designs you had before. This isn't to criticize the present one or anything, but the colorful ones you did were really psychedelic.
