Top 73 Music Albums of the 1990s
by PaperVinnie 
WIP, I'm listening to new music all the time, so I will update this chart every now and then.
Every album I've listened to from the 90s is on this list, I don't necessarily think some of these are the best of the 90s.
Feel free to suggest any albums you think I might like.
Also worth mentioning, this is based off of a mixture of what I think the best is, and what my favorites are.
