Spin picks best albums of past 20 years

Spin magazine named Radiohead’s “OK Computer” the top album of the past 20 years, praising a futuristic sound that manages to feel alive “even when its words are spoken by a robot.”

The British band’s album edged out Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” and Nirvana’s “Nevermind” on the list in Spin’s 20th anniversary issue.

Also in the top 10, in order, are Pavement’s “Slanted and Enchanted,” The Smiths’ “The Queen is Dead,” Pixies’ “Surfer Rosa,” De La Soul’s “3 Feet High and Rising,” Prince’s “Sign `o’ the Times,” PJ Harvey’s “Rid of Me” and N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton.”
