Darkness On The Edge Of TownBruce Springsteen
A truely inspirational album. A seminal work by a great artist. I was never a great fan of Born To Run, way over produced. DOTEOT, has more guitar & all the better for that. Every track is sublime but my fav would have to be Factory or Racing In The Street.

The Dark Side Of The MoonPink Floyd
I would guess that very few album have had as much written about them as this one, so what to add that's new. My personal perspective is that this was an album that I was introduced to by a friend who became one of the greatest influences on my musical tastes for years to follow.

If it wasn't for one rather ordinary track, "Bad Liquor", this could have been the greatest album ever. The rest is fabulous. Fav track = Last Harbor.

"Deadwing" in the top 20!? I like your style! There are some absolute gems, plus some artists I really mean to check out more at some point soon (PJ Harvey comes to mind). Overall, really great chart.
