Top 100 Music Albums of the 1990s

Tried to diversify the chart a bit, but boy is it tough. Impossible to cut the metal, hip hop, electronic and indie/alternative stuff. After all, it's the golden age for all 4 imo. Turns out this is probably my favourite decade of music.
Album cover ratings in the comments. Love me some good cover art.
A lot of symbolism. Such strong point of view.
Right?
Strong...
I knew you would get it, Mr. Kevin.
I see. It’s an interpretation of a chimpanzee.
It’s a self-portrait.
Of course. Us grown-ups are too jaded to see true genius.

Great chart. Some crossover with my faves of this decade with many that I have never heard. Already I have noted a couple Recommendations (most notably that Dark Tranquility album and that Souls of Mischief one as well - a couple classics of their genre that I have been eyeing for years). There are a couple here whose inclusion may make me reconsider whether I really do hate them (like Dream Theater). Anyway, good stuff.
