Spin Pisses Everyone Off

I won't make you wade through their list-by-numbers of the most 125 best records of the last 25 years. It's every record you'd expect to be there. The link goes directly to the No. 1. The commenters all hate it. It's designed to be annoying. Indeed, that's how these list consider themselves successful. If they'd just put Kid A or OK Computer in the top slot, like they'd really like to, no one would care. But if the list "starts a conversation" (i.e. invites flames from across the internet), then Spin has justified its online budget.

So click if you must. But don't feed the troll.
