Excellent seventies chart! I'm especially taken by your selections of Innervisions, Tusk, Blue, and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. There's a good amount of variety here, and I appreciate a seventies chart that's not overly larded up with metal. Great work!

This is so similar to mine it's scary. Only difference is that I threw in some great disco albums.
