I like both the Allmans and John Denver, but seeing their compilation albums mixed in with a bunch or Radiohead and Tool is rather jarring! Cheers all the same!

Thanks for the review on my chart :)
I like what you've got so far. No major complaints except does Radiohead have to have spots one and two? ;P
To be honest I was tempted to do the same thing with Pink Floyd, but even if you do feel those two albums are better than the rest I feel it's bad educate not to make your first 10 albums of all time all different albums. You mentioned mine not having enough hip hop or electronic... What do you recommend? Gorillaz is in my top 10, but I'm really not that big of a hip hop fan. I'm looking for at least one or two more artists that can really change that though. As for electronic, that's a genera I've been really wanting to get more involved with. Where should I begin?

Hey man! Welcome to the site! There's some great stuff here! Gotta love Miles. Also cool to see To Pimp A Butterfly (my fave album) and American football so high and I'm happy to have another DCFC/Ben Gibbard fan here. All in all really solid chart. I'll rate it when it's a bit bigger. You'll be able to do a 50 then a 100 chart in no time. Again, welcome to the site.
