Great chart. Oozes individualism. Love the obscurity of a lot of the albums and bands. (Edited)

Nice chart. Not necessarily to my taste but that’s fine. Personal chart as it should be

Amongst all this heavy music I was most interested to see Living in OZ by Rick Springfield. BTW - we have no albums in common, but that is perfectly OK. I respect your choices.

Interesting to see a chart with Tyr as the best Black Sabbath album. Only two albums in common, many of these albums I've never heard of. Missing albums from the 60's and 70's.
