A legendary album, and fully-deserving of the win. Wasn't sure what was going to challenge it, but pleased to see Bleach, which I think is Nirvana's best album, get some love. A little disappointed in the lack of De La Soul love, but it's in keeping with past results, I guess.
This poll is an extremely top-heavy year. 1979 features some of the biggest album releases of all-time, but I nonetheless struggled to cobble together 29 well-known poll options. Strange discrepancy.
