I totally agree with the top 20. Check out/revisit Bryter Layter by nick drake! I def think pink moon is the superior record but give it a listen a few times. It's a bit more orchestral and produced than pink moon, which is v stripped down, but maybe you'll like it! :-)

U get 10 bonus points for Taproot Manuscript. Thisi s the only chart besides mine I've seen it in. I've got it in my 1970 or 71 chart, whatever year it was. And also Stones.That's awesome too. People say it doesn't fit in with the rest of my chart. But who cares. I like it. Heh heh
