Outstanding nineties chart! I love OK Computer (doesn't everyone?), Grace, Nevermind, and I See a Darkness, among many of your other selections. Exile in Guyville is a pretty great #1 for the nineties, as it's a quintessentially nineties album that doesn't get nearly enough love from critics. Great work on this chart!

Plus two in our 90s top 10 are in agreement. There might be three more if you knew music from Australia and New Zealand. :)

A quality and diverse chart with almost half of the albums in my chart too. Good to see you've covered all bases. Good chart.
