101-200, The Waiting Room (Or The Obligatory Next Ton) of Dread by Jimmy Dread

Yep, I've caved in to doing a chart with another 100 LPs that would otherwise be in the all-time 100 were it not for the fact that there's 100 albums better. Not that there's much wrong with any of these picks - they're all zingers (and on any given day one of the first 50 in this list could easily sneak into the 100 when one of the incumbents has their back turned). Be amazed as some albums that you're likely sick to death of co-exist with obscure shit from Brazil or Jamaica. Enjoy it whilst it lasts, as being the pinickity git I am I'll probably delete this chart in a fit of rage when my son decides to run off with my DAC again. Out of all the the charts of mine on here, this is probably the most likely to fluctuate, and will more likely reflect my current listening habits than even my overall 100 (of which a few of these LPs will doubtlessly make in due time). Comments to follow where there are none when I can be arsed, plunder it for recs all you like... Jimmy, May 2021

PICK - Broken Face. FIRST HEARD: Peter's flat, Farnham. My old band mate had a poster of the slightly risque cover sitting in his digs, and every time I see a Spanish flamenco dancer with her knockers out I am reminded of this. My fave Pixies album - they sound at home with Albini. [First added to this chart: 05/30/2020]

PICK - Colony; FIRST HEARD: via New Order fixation. Closer often pops in and out of my chart, more from admiration of the parts (vocals, lyrics, PRODUCTION) rather than the complete article, which to me has always represented a miserable kid stuck in his bedroom on his 18th birthday whilst his mate from work got off with the girl he'd fancied for ages. Luckily recent events have seen that lad look in the mirror and realise quite how lovely it all turned out in the end, so with the demons exorcised I can once again dip into this Mancunian masterpiece without fear that I'll burst into tears at the slightest thought of past events.

PICK - Pumpkin Belly; FIRST HEARD: Ring The Alarm on 200% Dynamite compy. Fever has been hovering around my Top 100 for an age, but after recently acquiring it on vinyl from Honest Jon's on Portobello Road I've been giving it much more of a spin of late. 80s dancehall killer, and a landmark of the genre from an artist who like so many of his contemporaries left Babylon far too soon.

PICK - The Beat; FIRST HEARD: Soul Jazz compy. It's taken a while for ESG to click with me - the blend of no-wave funk and NY attitude has long been threatening to infiltrate my eardrums, so it comes as no surprise that given my dancing best represents someone with no ability to control their upper limbs that this LP soundtracks many a happy evening bopping around in the garden whilst smoking a cig.
