Good diversity, great to see Warren Zevon included. I felt that your #62-65 slots were an afterthought used to cram in the folk chicks.

Kings X, Lone Justice, Waits, Young & Zevon! What a fantastic chart. Only minus is R.E.M. I will ignore the R.E.M albums and give you a full score.

Every Dream Syndicate album is a gem. There are actaully a few more including another really tasty live album which might get added @ a later date. Green On Red will soon be added & yes, I have to have @ least a couple of Giant Sands as well. Good call lacashirearab.

I never knew the Dream Syndicate had so many albums and I had totally forgotten about Danny & Dusty. Surely you can get up to 100 by adding some Green on Red albums or something by Giant Sand.
