| Introduction | I’ve decided to, once and for all, list my top 50 albums of all time! Not an easy task as favourite albums change by the day, however there are always those special albums which will stay with you for life, the albums that you will always come back to. They may not be classics to others, but they are classics to me. Now I’m not just going to bash out a list on the spur of the moment, I'm going to take time to listen to the album in it’s entirety, probably in a dark room and probably when no one is in to disturb me! I will also try put something down as to why it is so special to me. This may be a quick one liner or may be a wild ramble depending on time and alcohol intake! Once I have completed the list then I will try put them in some kind of order, then again I might just say that they are all equal. It’s time to retire to my darkened room and to make my first selection!!!! |
