Impressive chart. I have a peculiar favoritism for the Bowie release "Ziggy Stardust ..." so I would have put that at the top of my 70s chart. Also interesting to see that not a single Pink Floyd album makes your list, but you did have Syd Barrett's solo album in there so I guess that makes up for it. ;) I like your musical taste. Thanks for giving me some ideas on how to refine my own. Keep up the good work.
