Wasn't the Shoes a good album? I forgot all about it, but I had it and loved it.

There is such a strong foundation to this chart: timeless classics such as London Calling, Ziggy Stardust, Some Girls, Fear of Music. I can appreciate your bias for the end of the decade--it was such an exciting time in the history of music if you're someone who appreciates the influence of punk and post-punk. Your list reminds me that I really need to spend some more time listening to the Buzzcocks.
