Great to see Headless Chickens right up there. Some fantastic albums and bands on your list. Nice to see Iron Fist in there as well. Be good to come back and check out when it gets to top 100

Wow, what an interesting start to your chart. Am leaving room to enhance my rating (or it could go to zero, Lol, no pressure) as you expand your chart from a very interesting 40 picks
