A really nice representation of the 1970s. Though you're a little higher on Pink Floyd than I am, I'm pleased to see Pink Moon at the top, and On the Beach is an inspired choice.

Leave it to Martin to campaign for Dark Side ;)
While I dont mind Dark Side being second, I am not sure how much I like four Pink Floyd albums in the top ten. Maybe I am overreacting because of the 2-4 Floydspot, but some more artists might be nice.
-oh and Wish You Were Here should be higher! higher!!!!(see profile picture)

My first 100/100! Excellent chart, a very complete one, that includes the best albums really! The only detail is that, in my opinion, for a matter of complexity and superiority in the final production of each album, The Dark Side Of The Moon Should be first, instead of Pink Moon, which is also a great album, but quite limited because all the songs are acoustic and can bore a little. However This chart is Perfect!
