I love Rundgren and most of the other bands on here, but it feels like this chart consists of 5 or 6 bands’/artists’ discographies. I look forward to more variety!

Haven't listened to enough Todd Rundgren to properly rate this... Will come back to rerate when I do my homework... The rest of the chart seems cool, except the Collins stuff which I don't like that much
