The presence of Subliminal Sandwich tells me you're a person of superior intelligence. And the presence of Purple tells me you're a person who knows what is ACTUALLY great as opposed to what you're TOLD is great. Unlike most people on here.

Mother of God, this is a great nineties chart! In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is an inspired #1 selection, and I also love OK Computer (I know everyone does, but it's for good reason), Wildflowers, and Grace, among many others. I see that you're a little heavy on the second half of the decade, but that's very understandable because so much great music was being made then. Thanks for sharing this terrific chart!
