I'm not sure what "iconic" means
Judging by a number of responses the criteria is "Albums from indie bands I like" :D
"I don't know why we asked him to join the band 'cause the rest of us don't like country music all that much; we just like Graham Lee."
David McComb, 1987.

This. Haha.

I'm not sure there's many in the last 20 years that can be given that status yet... It's too soon. Choosing the American Idiot cover rather than the Dookie cover is a weird choice though. As is including Taylor Swift at all. Every record cover I've seen of hers is pretty bland to be honest.

Thepeardream picking Madvillan is *chefs kiss*, bravo.
