Yeah, that top 10 needs diversity.

I'm a stickler for diversity... when 5 of the top 8 are split between 2 artists (Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead), that signals there's not enough artistic depth. I did a double take when I saw Supertramp mixed in there, would've appreciated a little more mashing of bands/genres, especially at the top.

These are my 40 favourites CD, not especially the 40 best albums of all time, though I believe some albums of the list belong to the best albums ever. I think The Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, and Sigur Ros have made some of the best albums in the 90's. That period was important to me, as I was a teenager during that period

Solid chart, I prefer DSOTM and Led Zeppelin IV, but your chart has some great albums. So, just give us top 40
