The chart is nice, but maybe a little too conventional for me. I would encourage you to try listening to different kinds of music and maybe checking out more obscure stuff when you get a chance. Maybe you have already done that though, and these are just your favorites. I don't know. I find new music all the time in many different ways, and this site is one of them. I love looking for new ideas of albums to check out. I occasionally like to look at different charts and read descriptions etc. to get a new idea of albums to listen to. You'll never know whether you'll like different stuff until you give it a try. I also like charts with a limit of one album per artist so you get a greater variety.
Don't get me wrong; this is a solid chart full of great albums and I really like a lot of them. Led Zeppelin is awesome, the Beatles are awesome, etc. I agree "The White Album" is the best Beatles album and "Since I've Been Loving You" is one of my favorite songs. I also like Amy Winehouse, Nick Drake, The Band, and many others.
