So here it is. 20 albums. No compilations. No best ofs. No live in London. No Megamixs. Studio albums (or at least close to).

Mine, after agonising for a while is:

1 - Nevermind (Nirvana)
2 - Dookie (Green Day)
3 - For Monkeys (Millencolin)
4 - Bleed American (Jimmy Eat World)
5 - Smash (The Offspring)
6 - The blue album (Weezer)
7 - The Colour and the shape (Foo Fighters)
8 - Not so tough now (Frenzal Rhomb)
9 - Mellon Collie & The infinite sadness (Smashing Pumpkins)
10 - Throw it in (No Fun at All)
11 - Slightly Odway (Jebediah)
12 - About time (Pennywise)
13 - Toxicity (System of a down)
14 - The Living End (Living End)
15 - In Utero (Nirvana)
16 - Siamese Dream (Smashing Pumpkins)
17 - Songs for the deaf (Queens of the Stone Age)
18 - Ten (Pearl Jam)
19 - Dude Ranch (Blink 182)
20 - So long astoria (The Ataris)

Throw It In by NFAA is in fact a compilation of the Vision EP and a heap of B-Sides and other non-album tracks, interesting inclusion tho.
