Not a bad chart. Very original, with some weird and unknown choices, and good distribution of the albums among the years. However, there are many albums and artist in here that I dont like, such as Daydream Nation, Closer and The Smiths. Anyway, I would like to see the top 100!

Superb chart, I love most of the picks that I know and there are several others that I know want to check out. And I'm glad that someone else loves Hookworms as much as I do as well!
