For whatever reason, people get upset when classic albums are up top and artists with multiple masterpieces are "over-represented". Stick to what you like because that is more important than bowing to other listeners tastes and expectations, but getting out there and giving other bands and records a shot to be your new favorite would never hurt. Most of these are in my top 50 but I'm biased because I think that The Beatles, Wilco, and Radiohead have created so much good music.

No such thing as too many Beatles albums. Keep going, I look forward to seeing the Top 100.

Good start.
Maybe too many Beatles/Radiohead albums.

Would love to see you expand. Right now all the popular albums are there, I would love to see you take a deeper plunge.

Good chart, although maybe a little bit too unilateral. But it's a good base to discover many more great music
