Top 100 Music Albums of the 1990s by ERadio

Yes, It's a very "Alternative" heavy chart. Yes, it could possibly benefit from some more urban style, but this is what continues to excite me from the decade. Listening to a lot more metal now and may add it here in the future.
Still proud of the 13 albums that are out of BEAs top 1000 for the 90s and the personal expression it represents.
Cheers!

Outstanding nineties chart! I love OK Computer (doesn't everyone?), Nevermind, Sackcloth 'n' Ashes, Dummy, and a number of your other selections. I also really like Slanted & Enchanted as a top ten pick, which makes me think my omitting it was a major oversight on my own nineties chart (though it does appear in my 1992 chart). Thanks for sharing your list!
