Excellent nineties chart! I love OK Computer (doesn't everyone?), Nevermind, Grace, and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, among many of your other picks. I also really appreciate Californication as a top ten selection, since sometimes critics tend to be a little snobbish toward the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Very nice work here!

Nice summary of the decade. It has mostly Alternative Rock, Britpop with some other important 90's genres liek punkpop, metal and electro.
