My fave BEAer (certainly upper echelon) coming in with a great chart.
Not updated in 6 years. I can only imagine the changes now. Hope you’re doing well my old internet friend.

Wow! This is a truly exceptional nineties chart. I love some of the obvious classics you've listed here (OK Computer, Grace), as well as some of the less conventional selections (I See a Darkness, Dummy). So much great stuff here to explore. I'm intrigued by your inclusion of I Could Live in Hope in your top ten, as that's an album I enjoy but haven't really given my full attention as of yet. Looking forward to giving it a few more spins in the near future.
