Make of that whatever you will ! Apart from Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue, this wouldn't make a bad Top 35 albums for me. Though there are a few other omissions. Most notably The Smiths, Sly & The Family Stone, Young Marble Giants, The Clash, Pixies, Stones, Wire, Ramones, The Human League, Kraftwerk, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello, Kate Bush, Dylan, Can, B-52's, Grace Jones, New York Dolls, Japan, Big Star, Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, Al Green. Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Dexys, Beefheart, Jefferson Airplane, Neil Young, Byrds, Aretha and Nina. Have I forgotten anyone. I'm sure I have.

Perhaps I need to start another list!!! On second thoughts I hope I don't feel the need to make another music list for a while. My end of year favourite albums of the year will be starting in September this time round. Oh dear, it's almost August.
