I'd (somewhat objectively) go with:
1. Radiohead - OK Computer
2. Nirvana - Nevermind
3. U2 - Achtung Baby
4. Pearl Jam - Ten
5. Oasis - Definitely Maybe
6. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
7. Green Day - Dookie
8. Soundgarden - Superunknown
9. Weezer - Blue
10. R.E.M. - Automatic For The People
I could have included more PJ, Nirvana, Oasis, and RH (and AIC's Dirt) but stuck to one album per artist.
7. Ween - Pure Guava
6. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic
5. Morphine - Cure for Pain
4. Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
