You're a fantastic writer with a serious understanding of 1950-present popular music. I may not always agree with your preferences, but the quality of your writing and effort put into some of your comments are impeccable and are the exact reason I come to this site. Every take is well reasoned and articulated.

What a great seventies chart! Among the many selections we have in common, one that grabs my attention right away is Stevie Wonder's Talking Book. I love that album so much. Brings back fond memories of my childhood listening to vinyl records on my cheap little record player in the basement of our house. Stevie Wonder's songs are so full of unexpected rewards--it was a such a treat to discover them at a young age. I can see these albums have brought you similar joy. Thanks for sharing!
