Top 90 Music Albums of the 1990s
by AgainstMeAgainstYou 
My favourite decade!
I was originally going to do my decade charts in order, but I've noticed that most of my decade rankings are in desperate need of an update, so I'm going to fix that before I do the 60's through the 80's. I'm pretty confident about the accuracy of my rankings for the 90's, though, so let's get into it.
Radiohead only did three albums in the 90's, so rest assured you'll only see them three times. Expect a lot of other repetition though. The 90's are my favourite and possibly most listened decade, but I still have the select artists who I give preferential treatment to.
