Thanks mikepen, 8 Sabbath albums does seem a lot, but after reviewing my chart several times, I decided it was totally justified! ;) Luckily the next 2 Sabbath albums were in the eighties, otherwise I would have 10 here.......

An excellent chart. I suspect that by the time I finish compiling and curating my 100 there will be a few more in common, though I doubt I'd have 8 Sabbath (you're keen!) but for sure at least one
