Love this chart! The fact that you have albums from this year in your favorite albums of all-time makes me think you're just now really getting into music in general which is cool. Awesome that you have Björk and Aurora on your all-time favorite chart. Aurora ranks high for me now and Björk ranks high for me on my 90s charts.
