Yail Bloor · **Posted:** Sat Jun 18, 2005 10:45 am

featuring: a list of the top 100 albums of 1985-2005 (it actually doesnt suck that bad, though I will never understand why people think S&E is better than Crooked Rain...)
The funniest "Spin 20" in about a year and a half

A Chuck Klosterman column detailing other important things of aforementioned era...

Poo-poo the haters, this is a fine issue.

Hey, Chris, check that issue out thoroughly. My friend, Audree, supposedly has a photo of Coldplay (Chris Martin jumping in the air) in it. It's actually a very cool photo taken at Coachella.

Audree Lau? I see it. Chris Martin looks like Curious George. Irony? I think not. Big ups to your pal...

Wow! That's awesome for her -- she wasn't sure if it was truly gonna be in that issue or not. (Good thing I like Curious George!)

Thanks for checking, m'dear!

I took $5 with me to the store, intending to pick this up. There I discovered that it goes for $5.50 before tax.

Almost $7 for a magazine is ridiculous. I'm unemployed, I can't afford that.

Am I the only person on earth who would rather listen to Kid A, Amnesiac or Hail to the Thief? Although I understand why people love it so much, Ok Computer is probably my least favorite Radiohead album.

Kid A, yes. Amnesiac, maybe. Hail To The Thief, no.

You're forgetting Pablo Honey.

I kinda meant that Pablo Honey should be everyone's least favorite Radiohead album.

i'm so glad i don't have a subscription to spin anymore. it would always infuriate me when i got it.

Sketch · **Posted:** Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:51 am

For me: Kid A > OKC >> evreything else they've done

Decent top 10, and not too far from acclaimedmusic.net's for albums in the same range

Nevermind
OKC
Nation of Millions
Sign O' The Times
The Queen Is Dead
Blue Lines
Automatic for the People
Joshua Tree
Odelay
Is This It
