A great list which takes me back to my late teens/ early 20’s. I have 20 of those albums, and have seen 21 of the bands live.
I’m not working today. Maybe see if i can come up with a list of my favourites though find these things difficult as so much to choose from. Hard enough to think of 30 favourite bands, let alone pick my preferred album from each one.
My list has completely changed again. I think I got caught up in not repeating any groups or artists, but quite honestly some of my favourite bands would have 2 or 3 albums in the list.
