Best Work of American Fiction in the Last 25 Years

Saw this article in the New York Times the other day. Seems the Book Review editor at the paper decided to poll a couple hundred writers, critics, editors, etc. to see what they thought was the best work of American fiction in the last 25 years. The winner was Beloved by Toni Morrison. The runners-up were Underworld by Don DeLillo, Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, Rabbit Angstrom by John Updike, and American Pastoral by Philip Roth. So do you agree with the choice of Toni Morrison? Do you think the decision is a valid one?

I liked Song of Solomon better, as far a Morrison goes, but I haven't read the others.
