This my favorite decade in music also at that time I started to buy lots of CD's. It was also the only decade where it was really difficult to chose which albums couldn't make the top 100.

I'm glad SOMEBODY knows that Bob Mould and The Amps were 2 great albums of the 90s. And I'm also glad u know that Sugar made 4 great albums. . I wonder if your 80s chart is full of Husker Du. I bet it is. Actually they had one album in the 90s.The Living End. You could have snuck it in there somewhere. Heh heh.

Outstanding nineties chart! In addition to classics like OK Computer and The Bends, it's really great to see Bakesale, Let Me Come Over, and Copper Blue on here. Tons of love for this chart.
