Outstanding nineties chart! I especially love OK Computer (doesn't everyone?), Grace, Nevermind, and the La's. Also thrilled to see Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot in your top ten, as Sparklehorse is a band I've only recently come to appreciate, and that is likely to climb in my rankings in the weeks to come. Thanks for sharing these excellent selections!
