Nice chart! Good variety of music, specially in the top ten wich is amazing. Although there are many albums i dont like, such as Voodoo and Endtroducing, among others, the chart is very interesting to me, really. You surprised me including Amnesiac as the best album of Radiohead, as it is a little underrated in here. Also, the distribution of the albums among the years is nice, I like that predominance of the 90' in the chart. Overall great chart, so expand!
