Hi Mercury nice chart !!
it's so nice to see Rancid on your top ten and it's cool to see also Let's Go, I love that record too.
what about Operation Ivy, do u like them?

[RepoMan]

Built to Spill, Pavement, MBV & Massive Attack should be (much) higher!!!

Great chart, obvs. Hopefully this will motivate me to finish my very own 90s chart at some point. But, right now I have punk on the brain. You're toast btw. After one day, it's already the best punk chart EVER. LOL.

[Mercury]

Well I'm happy to be cotd however why my 90s chart again that I haven't update in 5 months? Maybe it's becaise I just woke up and haven't got any coffee but I'm annoyed waaaaay out of proportion to how much I should be.

Anyway, yeah the 90s is the best but I have a lot of updating to do on this which I think I will go ahead and do today.

Thanks pa, repo, and sssvnn for the comments so far! Love y'all!

O wish I knew an easy way of copy pasting my updated chart to this thread the same way as it is listed in these threads...

A bunch of classics, and legitimately amazing albums, and then Spice, by The Spice Girls. So, this is as incredible as a decade chart could get.

^^^ Interesting. This is indeed much better from my perspective. A more solid top twenty for sure that seems to fit what I know of your current tastes better.

This settles it. There really is a subtle art to making a decent chart because this is definitely an improvement.

Of course, newly adding Lucinda Williams, Stina Nordenstam, Wilco's Summerteeth & Pavement into your top 10 goes a long way in my book!

[RepoMan]

BTW, how did you figure out how to list your chart in this style?

[pa]

nice improvement Mercury!
and Stina fits perfectly on your top ten

[Mercury]

Ha! Thanks repo! I thought you were gonna give me shit for not improving the position of half the artists you said should be higher. And yeah this a lot LOT more a reflection of what I love. Did I mention how annoyed I was that my 90s chart that was 5 months outta date and already featured 7 months ago is cotd again? Yeah. Whatever. It's all good. I suppose I should bitch at the computer for randomly selecting me. Anyway, yeah this tragic choice forced me to update this at least. So that's a silver lining. Now where is Jennifer Lawrence?...

Also, to be honest all I did was quote the OP and arduously go through and type in the correct order. That's right I spent 30 minutes in my phone typing that second version up. Made my thumbs numb and my brain hurt. I couldn't figure out an easier way.
