Great chart! Really full of classics in a very interesting order, fact that make your chart original and attractive. Also, excellent variety of music, i mean, only in the top ten you included at least 6 music genres, and in the whole chart there are much more. However, I think you could add some albums from your own country, as it brings more variety and makes your chart a lot more original, besides achieve one of the objectives of the page, which is to share music from around the world. So, great chart!!

Top 100 is even better than your start with the top 50.

Very good chart.
Close to perfection.
I´m no friend of some of your 80´s picks (The Jesus and Mary Chain, A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column), maybe you just had a good time with them when you was young...
I hope you´ll expand to 100.
