Terrific chart! Tusk and GP are such fantastic albums. Love to see those among some less familiar picks. American Gothic is one that I've never heard before--looks like I need to give it a listen!

I really like this one, various and interesting picks, and it's funny to notice that your last ten albums look like my top ten :-)
