Oh man, I know I probably should vote for Astral Weeks, but it's just been too long since I've listened to it. I'm sure it'll get plenty of votes anyway.

I voted for Low. Best album of this decade.

I don't know how anybody still listens to Nirvana Unplugged. I mean, it's OK.

I'd assume its one Opa grabbed from someone's listmania who didn't propose anything so it could have been near the bottom of their top 100 if that helps. Its no worse than the rest of these other than Astral Weeks.

This is an awful group. Astral weeks has to the be the best of this but its not one of my favorite VM albums by a longshot.

This is all albums that I do not own, so I have to vote based upon the songs that I have heard. So, that said, it's gotta be The Cars.
Too many great singles to argue.

Astral Weeks, I just don't really consider The Cars to be a favorite and can't in good conscious vote for Nirvana.

About a month ago I would have voted Nirv, but Astral Weeks just ran me over witha a truck recently.
