Top 20 Albums of the Last 20 years

I like lists, especially "Best of" or "Top.." lists. Spin magazine recently did the Top 100 albums of the past 20 years. Now this is a totally subjective thing and being Spin magazine and wanting to appear cool they have a lot of music on there that in my opinion is overrated or just plain not very good.

I tried to find a copy of the magazine but couldn't find it anywhere here in Switzerland or neighboring France. I did find a link to a guy's website that has the list though.

Anyhow, below is my list of the Top 20 Albums of the last 20 years. These are albums that I listened to for a long time and still listen to regularly or at the very least still will pick up periodically.
