Cool, eccentric top 50. Some whimsical selections and plenty to suggest a great ear.

Ha ha! I get it. I actually like Paul Kelly a lot. Not as familiar with Front Bottoms, but maybe I should check them out! As you can probably tell from my list, I have no shame about listening to music that's uncool to my friends.

buzzdrainer, they are all my friends who consider my musical taste to be plebian, basically they sniff their noses at me haha. They dislike my choices such as Paul Kelly, Front Bottoms etc. These may not be the most experimental albums but these are my favs. London Calling and Blonde on Blonde are both amazing!

A very solid chart! London Calling and Blonde on Blonde are such great albums. Who are Arthur, Pauline, Daniel, and Mr. Armstrong?
