The intro to your chart really put me off. I basically read: “If I am honest about what I actually like, the result might get ridiculed by people, so I started judging music on aspects that are completely unrelated to music.” C’mon man, fuck what people think, this sounds a bit - hey you’re dutch - ‘laf’. Music is just beautiful sounds; books are about the message.

I was surprised to see that your chart consists of a lot of different genres and it shows a lot of variation in accessible music and more experimental picks. So yeah, I like your chart, but I’m not a fan of the intro, but don’t change it because of my criticism, ‘cause then you’re doing exactly what I’m criticizing. Plus most people probably agree with what you described in your intro.

Your chard got me immediately because your number 1 record is not a standard choice. And also you've many classics, but they're disposed in a very unique... so one can tell your not liking things only because you're supposed.

If you are into 70s Funk, I would recommend you Betty Davis' They Say I'm Different album.

Great list. A bit 60s/70s-oriented, but even within these decades you manage to keep things quite varied, with a lot of soul for example. Pretty amazing to see Blank Generation and Forever Changes so high, too.

I see you love Exodus; I don't know how much reggae you've listened to, but it's probably a genre you'd dig a lot. lethalnezzle and NoWaxJim have awesome custom charts of the genre, and I have a few reggae records on my overall and decade charts, too, don't hesitate to check them out. I would also recommend my #2, I Am A Bird Now by Antony & The Johnsons. It's mostly filled with touching piano ballads, with sometimes a strong influence from soul music (Fistful Of Love), and Antony Hegarty, the singer, has my favorite voice ever. Very deep, delicate and pure. I'd be surprised if you didn't like it.

If you have anything particular for me, don't hesitate, I'm wide open to recs ;-)

Great chart! Full of classics in an interesting order, with a good variety of music. I really like the top ten, as it has many excellents albums, wich some of them are a little unknown and bring a lot of originaity to the chart. Really, I was dumbfounded when I saw Maggot Brain in the 8 place, as it is a good album, but generally people include it in his chart by putting it on any spot lower than the 50 spot. Also, I like the predominance of the 60' and the 70', as you did it with all great albums. So, excellent chart!

We may only have 7 albums in common and a very different all time chart but I'm guessing about a third of these 100 are on my decade charts, so a lot I like here.
