I'm getting so sick of U2. My friend and I were watching This Might Get Loud earlier today and we spent the whole time straight ripping on the Edge...I'm not usually a technique whore buthe was totally outclassed standing next to Jimmy Page & Jack White.

I have yet to read this 125 albums list, and I'm curious about how many albums also appeared in the "100 greatest albums 1985-2005" list or the "90 greatest albums of the 90's" list.
For example, normally SPIN shows some love for Cornershop...

Cornershop didn't make the cut this time.

I prefer "best" rather than "most influential". Most of the best albums the past 25 have been considerably more influenced than influential.

Better than Ready to Die, the Low-End Theory, Cuban Linx, Aquemini, etc? gtfo
