I really like this nineties chart because it includes in the top ten several albums that have been just on the edges of my consciousness as a listener for some time: Ágætis Byrjun, for instance, and Deserter's Songs, and Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space. You've given me a reason to go now and revisit those albums. I also really love Wildflowers, Steal This Album, Hips and Makers, and Tomorrow the Green Grass. So much here to appreciate and explore!
