Re: Top 10

In no particular order:

Blood on the tracks – Bob Dylan
Between the lines – Janis Ian
Songs of Leonard Cohen – Leonard Cohen (obviously!)
Mock Tudor – Richard Thompson (glad to see badgerwatcher is another RT fan!)
Soul Journey – Gillian Welch
Blue Horse - Be Good Tanyas (could have chosen either of their other two albums)
Déjà vu – Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Track Record – Joan Armatrading (btw, brilliant name for a ‘greatest hits’ album!)
Symphony no. 41 in C Major (“Jupiter”) – Mozart
Symphony no. 5 in C Minor – Beethoven

I’m sure I’d come up with a different list if you asked me another time (sometimes I might have listed 10 Richard Thompson albums!). But they are mainly albums that have stood the test of time, ones that I bought years ago and still love listening to now. The classical ones obviously are symphonies rather than albums – I’d have liked to add another classical choice to more fairly reflect my listening tastes, but just couldn’t omit any of the other albums.
