albummaster 11/25/2011 13:47 in Decade Charts“Love the new filter option on the charts, but I think there is a coding error in the yearly breakdown on the decade charts () because there is text beside the magnifying glass. good spot, this is now fixed.”

The Dark Side of the Moon is a very good albeit very overrated album. Should rank in the 50s. Personally I'd have The Wall at #1. Another issue I have with this is the absence of Unknown Pleasures (unless I carelessly missed it) Otherwise, this is a near perfect list that feels logical (even though it's all a matter opinion).

Hmmm - our 70s list has 38 albums in common and 41 bands in common.

Nice. Personally I don't think What's Goin' On is all that great but I'd be voted down on that one. Other than that the top 10 is pure gold. Good choice for spot #43.
