Jumping on the bandwagon

It seems that everyone is doing lists at the moment. Who am I to buck a trend?

Having said that, a music list cannot possibly be written with only single songs on it. I have a collection of some 800 albums in one format or another, so individual tracks are almost impossible to recall in one go. So here is my favourite album list - and even here I've taken liberties by grouping some together.

Let's face it, this is not a subject for the Wisdom of Solomon. Oh, and yes. The list does show my age...

( An endless list... )

And that, Dear Reader, is that. I am off to iron a shirt, have a shower and feel incredibly old all of a sudden...
