Excellent list, many artists in common, and even though we may not agree on their level of excellence we agree 100% on them being in our record collection!

Man, really cool mix of albums. Many overlooked rock albums of the seventies. Pat Travers, Gerry Rafferty, Alex Harvey. Very Nice

I like this chart. Many albums I don't know from the '70's (which I will listen to), others I do which I like and you have included my beloved Doomsday Afternoon. Some comments would be great.
