Top 70 Music Albums of the 1990s
by mianfei 
This is a rough guide to the top 65 or so albums from the 1990s. The list only covers albums recorded during that decade, though it includes classical works composed earlier.
Vis-à-vis my overall chart, I will be much stricter on compilations, but the two-album restriction for each artist or group of artists is less necessary to gain perspective on a shorter period.
The chart, apart form its upper reaches, is subject to change as I listen through a large backlog of recordings.
