This is a list of the albums which mean the most to me, not necessarily of how 'good' they are. The higher they are the harder it is to imagine living without them. Thanks for looking.

For some reason I've never really taken the time to rate your chart.

It is totally amazing, obviously. Some things I really love to see (Tricky, Love, Mobb Deep, ...), some I don't (LZ IV, Nevermind, Silent Alarm, ...), but the great vastly outweighs the things I'm not really fond of. Your chart is full of things from all times and all genres, and features many things I have yet to listen to.

Great job man, you have a new fan :D

Have you listened to The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Methodrone yet? If you haven't I recommend it, it's my favourite by them.

Okay, really oughta listen to "Deep Cuts" again. Remembered maybe two tracks I disliked, usually don't dislike any tracks on first listen. Oh, well. Maybe they'll grow on me.

Hehe. That's alright, didn't expect you to write a book back at me. Just thought your chart deserved it. :)

Hmm, what do we have here.. your top 10 is not too great, not a fan of The Smiths and Joy Division, "The Velvet Underground And Nico" is a very good album but still far from being the greatest 60s album. "Nevermind" and "The Stone Roses" save your top 10 fortunately. Next page: "Music for the Jilted Generation", great, have recently become a fan of that album. 3rd page: Another great the Prodigy album and "Screamadelica", yes, yes! Let's not talk too loud about 4th page. 5th page: YES! "Abbey Road" and "The Wall", about time they appeared. "XTRMNTR" is cool too! 6th page is good 'n' bad. 7th page: Erh.. too Smithsy, but "Hunky Dory" and "Disintegration". 8th page: "Definitely Maybe", the epitome of an honest chart. Other good albums too. 9th page: Led Zeppelin! Didn't expected that. Plus other great albums. Final page: a few last great surprises. "Deep Cuts", have listened to it once, remember it had some great songs, but also some pretty bad ones. I need to listen to that one again.

Overall, artistic mixture of really great albums and, for me, disappointing choices, but it's your chart and it's quality. I'd love to see some comments as well.

..and I don't know what motivated me to make this long review!
