When I started putting this chart up I didn't expect some of the glaring omissions that I think are here. Don't get me wrong, there are great albums here, absolute classics in some cases, and whilst I might not expect the likes of Betty Davis, The Undisputed Truth or Betty Harris to be included, I cannot believe that not a single Temptations albums has made the top 100 and only one album by WAR.
Decent chart but some glaring and unforgivable omissions IMO
