Aside from albums like Hotel by Moby, this list is fantastic with a lot of classics. I personally love it :)
PS. This world is f**ked up when it comes to accept opinions.

Good chart. There are many things in wich I agree, like OK Computer in such a high place. However, there are a lot of albums wich i dont like, for example Parklife, Bad, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, among others. Also, i hope to see some albums from the 60' when you expand, as it is one of the best decades of music. Anyway, keep going!
