The dutch magazine OOR, in collaboration with the dutch radio-station VPRO, makes a weekly critics-list of the best records (since 1991). They name it the "MOORDLIJST" (murder-list). Every year they make the total of these lists and publish the list in the OOR-magazine.
Thanks to Dirk Deglinne of Belgium for supplying these lists.

1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 | 1999 | 2000
