Top 50 Music Albums of the 1990s
by Thad 
In an effort to get as much variety into my charts as possible, I've included a one album per artist rule for ALL charts. For example, The Lonesome Crowded West appears here so Moon & Antarctica cannot be on my 00's chart; Vespertine is on my 00's chart so no Homogenic. Etc. Figured that was worth noting.
