This was much harder to complete now that I'm allowed 100 entries.
I got a bit of abuse before for having such a "modern" list, but nothing's changes in that respect. That's what I listen to I'm afraid!

18 in common.
Love your modern choices, by the way, Stars of CCTV, Employment, Costello Music, Hot Fuss, etc etc etc, these were all much of my childhood - great! Also love The Vaccines, so that was nice to see.

I like to see representation by Supergrass. This chart is good stuff, even if it is 90s heavy. I think my chart is too.

I usually enjoy the more modern charts. (like mine is)
This however is full of very average albums...

Some good stuff on here but very, very little variety. If you work on this and expand it and diversify it, I'll take another look.

Nice start. I'm guessing from your selections that you are one of the younger members of the site as there is lots of stuff from the last 20 years here. Looking forward to your full list.
