Just did big update of 90s chart and looked and saw yours was a similar one. Somehow I have never looked over your 90s chart! It's awesome! Love the love shown to Death/Black/Sludge metal. The 1990s were great as is this chart.

Outstanding chart! I love OK Computer (doesn't everyone?), Grace, Nevermind, and Keep It Like a Secret, among many of your other selections. Great decision to include Mule Variations in your top ten, as well, since that is a weird and wonderful album that never gets quite the love it deserves. Excellent work!

I have 3,123 hairs on my head. And the 90s was the best decade in the history of the world.

Sorry but how is the top ten predictable? I'd say only two are predictable but they are great albums.
