Your top 10 is f**n brilliant! Both Jellyfish albums and Ben Folds 1st and Eg & Alice. Hat's off.

An excellent nineties chart! I love OK Computer (doesn't everyone?), Nevermind, Dummy, and Automatic for the People, among many of your other selections. I was pleasantly surprised to see Zooropa in your top ten, as that's a good U2 album that rarely gets any love. Thanks for sharing this great list!
