It has to be Lost in The Dream by The War On Drugs, right? Has been on repeat for me for several months now.

I tried that WoD album 2 or 3 times. I don't dislike it but it just doesn't grab me.

Very very high on my unofficial ballot. Everything is so subjective but in addition to some of what has already been mentioned I'd throw these into consideration for my personal best.
Funeral by Arcade Fire
Lonerism by Tame Impala
Is This It? by The Strokes
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys
Sunbather by Deafheaven (flame away)
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco

Know this isn't "the best in the past 20 years," but Trainwreck by Boys Night Out is really superb (personal favorite). One of those you have to listen from beginning to end. It's a perfect listen under, ahem, certain conditions.

Green Day - American Idiot.

My personal favorite is Contraband by Velvet Revolver. Damn shame Weiland couldn't hold it together to keep that band together.
It's weird to say that an album that took home a grammy is underrated but I definitely agree. Sprawl II is one of my favorite songs of the past few years.
Also, while one these might not be the best of the past couple of decades you'd get no trouble from me if you argued that Lift Your Skinny Fists to Heaven or Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! by Godspeed You! Black Emperor belonged in the conversation of someone's personal favorites.

Love to see Pearl Jam support. No Code is probably my favorite Pearl Jam album as well, although sometimes I lean towards Yield. In terms of single songs, I always thought Do the Evolution was pretty much game over for the "best rock song" contest...pretty hard to top it.
But as much as I love No Code, I don't think of it as my favorite "rock" album...not sure what I call it.
Using the "my favorite album to take to the gym" metric, I'd vote for Veni Vidi Vicious by The Hives.
Other nominees:
- White Blood Cells, White Stripes
- Vitalogy, Pearl Jam
- The Downward Spiral, Nine Inch Nails
- OK Computer, Radiohead
- MTV Unplugged, Nirvana
- Pinkerton, Weezer
- Mellow Gold, Beck
Just missed:
- Cracker, Cracker (22 years old)
- Slanted & Enchanted, Pavement (22 years old)
- Siamese Dream, Smashing Pumpkins (21 years old)

A lot of good choices so far. One I haven't read yet... Odelay! by Beck

Completely agree, once I saw the Wilco album (which I also love) I figured it was game on for everything. Yield is also a great call, i'm a big fan. Someone else mentioned that Bright Eyes record - fantastic one for my tastes. Deerhunter - Microcastle is one i'm spinning and spinning and spinning lately, again not sure if it's rock or wtf it is, aside from awesome. Aside from Yield, not sure if any of these are rock records.
If we're going ####### nuts in the gym, i'm a big fan of Aenima by Tool, Rage missing out only due to being outside of 20 yrs. And of course OK Computer. Of course.

Yeah, the definition of rock is pretty subjective so I think everything listed so far qualifies.

The answer is OK Computer by a very wide margin.
I'd like to at least acknowledge Polly Jean Harvey's Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea.

Rock is a pretty broad term being used in here.
Whats the difference between Alternative and Rock because most of these look like Alt albums IMO.

Most of the best have been named. My addition would be Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers.

February Stars is bunk. Doesn't keep it out of consideration, but it's certainly a weak link.MAC_32 said:
I'll throw support behind a double-album by XTC called Apple Venus Volumes 1 and 2. Though released at separate times, they can be viewed as a whole, and they are underrated and brilliant. If only one would be eligible, it would be Volume 2 which is a great rock album on its own.
