Dig your list although not surprising given that we have 44 albums in common. I may check out a couple of the artists we don't have in common like Big Star and I should probably check out some of the other Nick Drake albums. I have Pink Moon like everyone does, but have never picked up any of his other albums. It's tougher than a person might think to get a decent list up to 100 for the 70s (although not as hard as the 80s and 60s). Figure if we have that many albums in common, there's a good chance I might like some of the albums on your list that I haven't heard of. Very happy to see Exile at the top.
