An outstanding collection of nineties albums, heavy on grunge but not oversaturated with it. You've got solid picks such as OK Computer (which I know everyone loves, but it's for good reason), I See a Darkness, Dirty, and Nevermind. Probably the most surprising development here is the inclusion of How To Make Friends And Influence People in your top ten--that's an album I'm going to need to hear. Thanks for posting this interesting and well-composed chart!
