Really nice chart man. Love the top picks and agree on a lot of your other ones. If I could recommend I’d say go with the early rock and rollers. Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Little Richard never seem to disappoint me.
25 albums in common at time of post. (Edited)

This is what I'd call a "serious chart," meaning that just about all the entries actually belong on it, and you didn't even give in to the temptation to add a lot of overrated stuff just to needlessly impress people. So that's good! Someday I might ask you for pointers on how you managed to do it!
