Top 100 Music Albums of the 1990s
by daftpunter 
The charts get harder as we get closer to the present. Know what's cool? I can't tell if I like the albums here more than the 60's and 70's. There's hope for the 2000's yet! Yes, it takes that long for stuff to sink in.

So much fantastic stuff here! OK Computer and The La's take their rightful places in the top 10, but there's lots of other, less obvious material here, as well. Excellent selections.

And I see you gave it a 10/100 too........
Maybe just part of your usual awesomeness that it made it to your NINETIES chart?

Great chart! I'm confused, though. What is Metal Machine Music doing in a '90s chart? How did it get there in the first place? Has Reed's craziness extended to BEA? Oh, and why is it not higher than #95?
