Very interesting chart. For the most part not my kind of music, but a lot of albums I've never heard of. Great to see the Kinks and Floating Opera in the top 10.

Great to see Doug Sahm and Band & Concert for Bangladesh on your list. Somewhat surprised that the only Australian artist is Gary Shearston - there would not be many Aussies who have even heard of him. I enjoyed your chart.

I came here because of Toy being down as a favourite album of yours - thinking to myself is this a Bowie fan? But I don't recognise most of the stuff in your chart - it is one of the most unique I have come across on this site. Obviously very personal to you and steeped in 1970s with 55 tracks from that decade and not even the usual suspects. Interesting preference to the individual Beatles rather than them as a collective.
