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.

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