Very 70's centric, (not a criticism). Too much Springsteen for me too. 13 of these are in my chart.

Too many Bruce Springsteen, it isn't bad, its not my taste, but I expect Wish You Were Here on top of the list, its one of the best albums ever made on music history, on the other side is Meat Loaf? So nice chart)
