Excellent chart with a mind-blowing top ten! One of the best that i've ever seen! Great update of course, as i am surprised to see "At Night At The Opera" fourth

This gets more interesting as you move beyond the top 10. I like your 20-100 list.

Nice chart on the whole, though i'm not sure if i will ever agree with KID A at number one.
