I think Spin is a pretty good magazine and their latest list is pretty good too. But honestly, how can you possibly put together a list of the 100 Greatest Albums of the last 20 years and forget to include The Joshua Tree? Even if were the top 50 albums of the last 50 years, for The Joshua Tree not to own a spot is unconscionable.

i like pitchfork.
I've never like Spin for reasons such as this. I'll stick with Rolling Stone.
I think Achtung Baby is the better album, and probably deserved the top 10, but you're right--The Joshua Tree deserved a nod, as well.
I went through the whole list, a few at a time, at .
