Definitely a lot of unique choices, which is the sign of a great chart to me. There's plenty here I have to check out for myself. Can't wait to see you increase this beyond 40! It'd be cool to read some descriptions about why you enjoy each album, especially since so many of them don't seem to be very well-known here.
