I'd be lying if I said I was a massive fan of most 60s pop.
Sweetheart Of the Rodeo is there because I think it's the best country rock album of all time, being the one which helped bring it to mainstream.

Yeah, it's Matt Johnson. Amazing album but, as you say, shame about the passport photo on the cover.

Yep, I'm officially part of the 1k+ Crew
For anyone who feels like checking The The out,
Soul Mining is a great album too - not really in the same league as
Mind Bomb but well worth a listen all the same.

Thanks
I probably used the words 'dark' and 'ambitious' about 70 times altogether, but I believe I've made my point.
Thanks for the
Soul Mining link btw - really enjoying that one.

I like the album choice for The kinks but I would have gone top twenty at least.
Can't wait to see the final 8.
Jackhammers icon is hilarious.

My friend, you've got a whole trove of avante-garde treasures awaiting you
Check him out on youtube and get an album called
Safe As Milk before anything else.
As for the Kinks, it is an absolutely top-drawer album, but putting it in the #30-11 bracket (the upper echelon of musical genius) would've meant a headache over reshuffling the whole thing. It's in the list anyway, so at least I haven't completely ignored it eh.
