Very good chart, I have a lot of the same albums on mine!
This is a great list, lots of modern classics and older stuff that has really stood the test of time.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
