Sorry, what? I don't have any problem whatsoever with GeoffD, or anybody else, disliking that album - I just hate his awful reasoning. Saying that you don't care for "grumbles from the ghetto" (his words) is a dressed-up way of stating that you struggle to understand why those darn negroes can't just quit whining and accept their lot. It smacks of ignorance (and ignorance with racial undertones, too).

Ok people need to calm down and not hate on this guy because he doesnt like an album that you like. I disagree with his reasoning to hate on GKMC, but I dont really care for it either (the album that is). That shouldnt be grounds to bash on things he does like. I actually like the beginnings of your chart. keep it going.

I can explain that, Skinny - I'm actually a middle class white person with a piano. Does that help?

I'm mystified as to how anybody could possibly give a flying fuck about the "problems" of middle class white people with pianos.

Hipster racism isn't cool, Bro. GKMC is objectively one of the most important albums of the decade so far, and it's rather offensive that you attack it based purely on the artist's demographic background.

Very Good chart. I especially like the position of blue sky mining.

Any chart with Kate Bush's The Kick Inside at #1 is a chart I like :) You've got great taste in music, SingingPeasant96!
