Making this chart made me realize I REALLY don't like the '90s all that much :/ That said the first 25 or so are indisputably amazing.

The 90s has something for anyone that's willing to dig deep enough. I honestly believe that for any decade... but maybe I'm just not too harsh of a music critic. I like you have a few things up there I havent heard yet. Ill check these out.

WOnderful top ten with the Kronos Quartett. Anyway for me the 90´s were the "electronic decade": Trip Hop, drum ´n´ bass, techno whatsoever...
I have to admit that I wasn´t interested in rock at that time - so for my taste there is too much rock in your Chart.
