One of my favorite charts. Amazing mix of jazz, folk, obscure rock, and forward thinking hip hop.

Norman, your Byrds' album choice of Younger Than Yesterday has always been a bit odd to me. It's probably my least favorite of their first six, and the first without Gene Clark.

Great chart from a user with wonderful taste. With MBV and Joy Division in the Top 10 and Wire and The Smiths just outside, that's good enough for me!
