A lot of good picks and a lot in common.
In the end I´m not fully convinced of that Chart:
I think your top artists (Queen, ELO, Residents) are overrated and (as thanasismsrls mentioned)I´m missing some great albums from the seventies.

Although you have missed some great albums from the seventies, i am happy to see two albums by Vangelis in your chart! You should listen my favorite album of his: Heaven and Hell.
