You've got my full attention when you slip Emmylou Harris' Wrecking Ball between Illmatic and Fear of a Black Planet. I love the diversity of this chart, and in particular I love OK Computer (I know everyone does, but it's for good reason), Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, The Low End Theory, and Nevermind. In other life--one in which I listened to a lot more hip hop in the nineties--this could have been a chart I would have made. Great job!
