In the new issue of Spin, they had a special listing their choices for the top 100 albums since 1985 (the year of Spin's inception). I've provided the whole thing below, with the bolded releases being the ones I own.

The top 10 list in the new Alternative Press is way better. I'm just 17 so I feel like I missed out on most of those albums but I've read so much about each of those bands and how they influenced a ton of other bands nowadays. I'll probably finally pick up some of those albums after seeing that list but I was a little surprised that At The Drive-In wasn't on that list...to me, they seemed like underdogs and their legacy is still growing everyday.

What was their criteria? "The best"? Their favorites? Most influential? Anyway, with regard to ATDI, I have something funny to say. I was at a CD store yesterday and the card behind the ATDI best of compilation called the band "Mexican nu-metal." Funny!

Ok, I went to their site and looked at their criteria, here it is for anyone else who was interested ( ... )

No Bad Religion... CRIMINAL!

And Scott... you should definitely pick up Slayer's Reign in Blood.

Descendents and Black Flag put out their seminal albums before 1985.

Lifetime and Dillinger Escape Plan, while killer bands, are inconsequential in the grand musical scheme.
