Thanks for the comments.
Yes, I was just being honest about which albums have had the most impact in my life. Being someone who grew up in the eighties has naturally had some influence on the choices.

I was at first tempted to say this is a crap chart, but it's not, there are some really good choices in here and it may be the most honest chart I've seen.
