Top 100 Music Albums of the 1990s
by 
AfterHours 
NOTE: Bill Dixon's Vade Mecum is separated into two parts and two selections on this site, but I consider both parts as one album and one selection. So my rating and ranking is infact for both parts put together as one work, not each individually.

I keep seeing Lisa Germano popping in people's nineties charts, so much that I'm convinced I need to give her a long listen. That's particularly true after looking at your chart, since there is so much great material here: for example, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Dummy, The Black Light, and Siamese Dream, just for starters. Also nice to see a healthy representation of Mercury Rev, another band I like but haven't spent nearly enough time with. Thanks for giving me reason to give them another few spins!
