by marshallsbrother 
Obviously this chart is a work in progress. My collection doesn't seem to have much stuff from the seventies, a situation I will need to remedy. Feel free to offer suggestions to help me flesh this out.

It´s obvious that you didn`t grew up in the 70`s... cause you know only the classics (in contrary to your more recent decade charts).
I like your 70`s Chart and I´m not sure if I´ll have the time to check all your rare 21century picks.
