Looks like there's a spot for 7 Beatles albums :P haha. Just kidding. 18 albums in common. I think this era is kind of forgotten for still having fantastic classical/jazz. Thanks for representing some of that Jazz and other attempts at higher art.

@sethmadsen ... Thanks man, believe it or not, I almost upgraded Sgt Pepper to 7.5/10 last year, which would make it eligible for this chart! There's hope! :-)
