LOWLIFE is listed as number 50

Compiled by thier editorial staff: "Each album on the list finds a sweet spot between artistic brilliance, stylistic innovation, and cultural relevance."

Spin always liked New Order and Joy Division. I remember that back in 1990 they have listed LWTUA as the second best song of all times. I don’t want to say the number 1 name.

That's good news, but damnit, how many "list" issues does Spin put out in a year? (I read it at the library, but I'd guess about 2 or 3).
