Pink Floyd, The Clash, Replacements, Operation Ivy & of course, the Beatles. A strange order maybe but good picks.

Good charts are the ones that challenge me to listen to albums I don’t know so this is a good chart: I’ve never heard of the Reivers so they are certainly on my list.

I have only heard of maybe a little less than 1/5th of your album choices here. Diverse, and obscure af choices. I love it

After top two choices, can't say I saw the rest of the list playing out as it had... nice swerve, diverse selections.
