This is the complete, final list. You can vote for up to thirty albums, and the points system is as follows...
1st - 402nd - 363rd - 324th - 295th - 276th - 257th - 24 8th - 239th - 2210 through 30 continue on as such, subtracting one point the lower you go, until 30th place, which gets 1 point. Easy enough.
I hope everyone will contribute a bit of a rave about their favorite album on the list, or a rave about each album on the list. And also, I want everyone to list ONE glaring omission from the albums list. I'm guessing certain albums might receive more than one vote and if one rises above the others, it will receive an honorable mention of sorts.
And now, the list (any errors, please let me know!)

wow. that's entertaining enough, but top 30 of the '90's?
first dEUS album was the best, Throwing Muses - University is over rated. Real Ramona deserves it's place 100% though.
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness. Oh :'D despite all your rage you're still just a rat in a cage dude. Can't take him seriously at all. They're ok otherwise I suppose don't like them myself but understand where others are coming from.
Oasis – What’s the Story Morning Glory / Spice Girls – Spice
The two most toxic-to-popular culture and music in Britain (if not even further away) releases of the decade. Burn in hell for shame.
Other than those a lot of pretty fine choices in there. Impressed.
'Debut' is as always utterly underestimated.
I'm not helping am I?
(sorry)

I think it's the best solution to the argument, because the people who thought 15 or 20 was way too low would never be happy voting for only 15 or 20 -- but the people who thought 30 was way too high can simply just list 15 or 20.

Kelis - Kaleidescope
She's a great singles artist.
