This chart contains a really nice blend of great albums I know well (Grace, OK Computer, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, Automatic for the People) and albums I've been meaning to spend more time with (Björk's Debut and Blur's Parklife, for starters). Always good to see R.E.M. and Nick Cave amply represented, as well. Excellent work, as on all your decade charts!
