Doesn't leave anything out! I'd switch Pinkerton and Blue if I were you, but of course that's your opinion :)

Outstanding nineties chart! I love OK Computer (I suppose everyone does, but there's a reason), Nevermind, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, and The Low End Theory, among many of your other selections. Happy to see Superunknown in your top ten, as that's an album I listened to quite a bit in the nineties but haven't spent as much time with in recent years. I think it's high time to give it another spin!
