Some think of this as a sequel to Dancing, but I see it more of a transitive album pointing to Stealing Fire. "...Fall Vacation" is one of my favorites

I really do not know how to rate this chart. On the one hand, it has some surprising artists, and a number of genuinely great albums on it. On the other hand, it has quite a few I find mediocre, and repeats artists rather too freely.
