Very good chart!
the 80´were a difficult decade: If you dont t like "New Romantics" or stadium rock and look for soul or blues as I do it... there is not much left.
So you did a great chart by avoiding all the poor 80´ stuff and introduce some good music!
I´m just no big 80´s fan to rate higher...

Great chart. We have similar tastes in music and I will try a few I have not listened to.
