Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by GTRZ 
Just joined this website. And, although it says in the rules that as a newcomer, I don't have the points to submit a decade chart, I recently developed my first chart and, as it turns out, it's a decade chart==Best Rock Albums of the 70s. Am hoping I can add the chart. Would enjoy getting feedback on it. I spent months working on it (from Apr 12 until Jun 12).
The chart represents the best rock albums of the 70s from the perspective of 'how enjoyable is the album, overall, i.e., considering every song on every album reviewed'. In developing the chart, 190 of the top 70s albums was evaluated. Every song on every album was rated on a scale from 1-10 (10 being a great, great song). After grading all of the albums, song for song, I added up the scores for each album and divided by the number of songs on the album. Then, I sorted the list from highest score to lowest. Also, of not, I only considered studio labums, i,e,m not live albums, or else Irish Tour '74 and Kiss Alive would have been in my top list.
The fun thing about it is that I didn't know how the list would turn out until I was done!
