♥♥♥ Metrópolis, Part. I: The Miracle & The Sleeper / ♥♥ Learning To Live / ♥ Wait For Sleep
Who says virtuosism and melodism should be faced? New Yorkers Dream Theater showed otherwise in this energic recording. An álbum that hundreds of subsequent metal bands have tried to rip off and none of them has succeeded. Every song is near to the same marvellous level. [First added to this chart: 12/07/2013]

Electronic / Ambient Techno
♥♥♥ The Box / ♥♥ Adnan's / ♥ Dwr Budr
Forget everything you've heard about electronic, this in not for dance, leap or shake your body compulsively, this is only to take place and thinking. An introspective walk into a parallel world. "In Sides" takes Kraftwerk standards and leads it to the next level in the genre. "The Box" is impossible to describe with words, best synthesizers piece ever made.

♥♥♥ Hjartad Hamast / ♥♥ Flugufrelsarinn / ♥ Starálfur
Hello, can you feel it? This is the womb and during the next nine months - or seventy two minutes - your livelihood will be at dark, in this small bag, the placenta, and you will get feed and oxigene through this duct, the umbilical cord.
Probably the most beautiful album ever made. You don't even have self-awareness, but it has been an ágætis byrjun! [First added to this chart: 12/07/2013]

Progressive Rock
♥♥♥ A Smart Kid / ♥♥ Don't Hate Me / ♥ Even Less
The best band in the 21st century began to being it since the last century. After some experimental works, "Stupid Dream" printed the sound of the band with that dramatic touch which it lacked to sweeten our palates and make it delicious. Your first contact with the band possibly could be through "In Absentia", "Deadwing" or "FoaBP" but not underestimate "Stupid Dream", perhaps their best album.

♥♥♥ Push It / ♥♥ You Look So Fine / ♥ I Think I'm Paranoid
This album fills a special place in my memories cause it was the first one that I really enjoyed during my teenage days. Years and years after, I think it has aged really well and I'm still considering it as an amazing mix of genres and styles. I never get tired to listen to it. [First added to this chart: 12/07/2013]

Outstanding nineties chart! I love OK Computer (doesn't everyone?), Nevermind, Sackcloth 'n' Ashes, and Dummy, among many of your other selections. I also really like Stupid Dream as a top ten pick for this decade, as I think that one is very underrated on this site. Great notes to go with your picks, and excellent work overall!
