Great surprises here to give a typical list just enough of a twist.

Lot of obscure stuff I don't know. But you touch on most of my favorite artists. Basically nothing I don't like. Not sure why only one album per artist

I can't agree with your selections, but it's nice to see something that's not so predictable.
