Excellent list. You have a vast knowledge of music in all genres. Your taste leans a little more towards prog than mine, but there are quite a few insightful choices here, prog and otherwise. The Residents! Wow.

Rumours, Ziggy Stardust, and Blood on the Tracks all in the top ten? That's an excellent start. Terrific chart overall.
