This is a really strong nineties chart, one of my favorites on the site. I love OK Computer (I know, kind of a cliche at this point), Keep It Like a Secret, Nevermind, and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, among many of your other selections. I also really like The Downward Spiral as a top ten pick, as "Closer" has to be one of the very best tracks from the decade. Excellent work on your list!
