Great chart. Just wondering. Did you deliberately go for one album per artist or was that a happy coincidence?

Love your chart. Great variety in genres and eras. Love that you've also made it completely your own with many lesser known bands and albums included.

Although this is a totally different chart from my own, it is not bad by any means.
It is very diverse and has a lot of artists who are not often seen here, with some serious surprises like the Reverend Horton Heat, the Stray Cats and Davy Graham. Even other better-known artists here like B.B. King, Suicidal Tendencies and Corrosion of Conformity can feel somewhat surprising.
On the debit side, it is not well-arranged – stacking unfamiliar albums at one end speaks of artificiality to my eyes at least.
