Mmmmm, yes, yes, yes. Outstanding chart. In addition to obvious classics such as OK Computer and Grace, this chart contains many lesser-appreciated gems such as I See a Darkness and Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. I also really appreciate the inclusion of If You're Feeling Sinister in your top ten, as it's such a quinessentially nineties record. Excellent work on this chart!
