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.
