It would be nice to have a different bar color for the decade
Neil Diamond made that list. I wouldn’t have expected that.
James Horner’s Titanic score at 50 is crazy, but makes sense. Everyone seemed to have that CD.
_Nwvermind_, _Led Zeppelin IV_, _Abbey Road_, _Dark Side of the Moon_ yep
The fact Adele is already top 15 is nuts
MJ really was the king of pop
Most of this shit just makes me sad for humanity.
