Now this is my kind of 70s chart. Four Joni Mitchells. And it's the first time I've seen Hissing of Summer Lawns and Court and Spark in somebody's Top 100 besides my own. And it's awesome that you have Jerry Jeff Walker and Joe Ely too. I like them too.

Good to see many Neil Young albums.
The chart looks a little boring. I´d like to see some more peronal suggestions of rare albums.
