A thoroughly enjoyable seventies chart--great seeing Love Bites, an album I hadn't thought about in a long time, in your top ten. Electric Warrior is another surprisingly underrated album here on BEA, I appreciate your giving it some love. Extra points for including just one album per artist. I'd have a very hard time limiting myself to just one David Bowie album, though it might result in a more creative chart. Fantastic chart overall!
