Yeah there's some strong charts here. If I hadn't focused so much on Mercury's charts in the "listen to the album below you (canon)" game, there'd probably be more there that I haven't listened to.

As it stands though, Jameth looks like they have the most albums I haven't listened to, but PurpleHazel has that amazing mix of albums I haven't listened to, albums I love, and albums I probably need to revisit.

I ended up going with PurpleHazel. I think this was even chart of the day sometime in the past couple weeks and I recall loving the whole chart and picking a handful of recs (none of which I've listened to yet)
