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.

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!
