This is an outstanding seventies chart! You have a large number of albums by a relatively small number of artists, but who would really argue that David Bowie didn't completely dominate the musical landscape of the seventies? I've been listening to The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars a fair bit lately, and it's really lost none of its allure for me over the years. "Starman" continues to blow my mind.
