Wow, what an outstanding nineties chart! I love many of the albums you've listed here, especially Anodyne, Automatic for the People, Grace, and Tomorrow the Green Grass. Son Volt's Trace at #1 is an absolutely inspired choice, an album that probably deserves a significant boost on my charts. Thanks for sharing this!
