A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

THE BEST POP CD OF THE PAST 20 YEARS: Adam's recent post about this being the 20-year anniversary of the release of Graceland prompted him to wonder whether that CD was the best pop CD of the past 20 years. I made what is assuredly an incomplete list of some other noteworthy CDs of the past 20 years below. Let us know what you think is the best. Note -- I am adopting a broad definition of "pop". The contenders:

Guns N’ Roses "Appetite for Destruction"
U2 "Joshua Tree"
Public Enemy "It Takes a Nation"
Liz Phair “Exile in Guyville”
Red Hot Chili Peppers “Blood Sugar Sex Magic”
Bonnie Raitt “Nick of Time”
Nirvana “Nevermind”
R.E.M. “Automatic for the People”
D’Angelo “Brown Sugar”
Beck “Odelay”, “Sea Change”, “Mutations”, or “Mellow Gold”
Maxwell “Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite”
Radiohead “Kid A” or “OK Computer”
Missy “Supa Dupa Fly” or “This is not a Test”
