Although our charts are very different, I really like the albums on your chart, esp, Cocteau Twins(One of my very fav groups), Innocence Mission("Now in this hush" is a masterpiece), David Bowie, Mott, Elvis Costello, Morrisey(esp "vauxhall and I") they have all appeared on my chart at one time or another.
