From CharlieBarley 12/13/2016 17:01

41 albums in common. Good chart. Enjoyed it. Top quality. My favourite decade for music. Great to see so many of my favourite albums. Particularly good to see I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight by Richard and Linda Thompson. Amazing record. I'd forgotten about that one. Good 70s list.
