Every tune is a classic. With a number of different styles this album does have an overall mood of melancholic,even if a number of songs tell of a longing and fulfillment of new love.

Really great chart! Pretty hard to disagree with the likes of London Calling and Damn the Torpedoes. I need convincing when it comes to Kiss and Cheap Trick, but those little differences of opinion are what makes the site great.

Perfect summary of the decade. Punk, Metal, Hard-rock, Pop, Soul and anything else the 70's was about.

A little too much 70's for my liking :P 33 in common with my own, hard not to like.

Great chart, some excellent choices. What do you think about The Beach Boys' "Holland" and "Love You"?

Love the Bernstein inclusion! Can't say I care for the Scorpions. Good list nonetheless.
