Just hilarious from start to finish. The craft of songwriting in Eno's hands is nothing like you will have ever heard before.

Always nice to see Close to the Edge at the top. The list is perhaps not varied enough for my taste, but it reminded me of a few things I that I really have to check out, mainly Talking Heads and Brian Eno; being a huge Bowie fan, I should've done that a long time ago...

Hi tomr,
I´m checking the albums from your list that I don´t know from time to time:
Andrew Bird: Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
It´s a pity that I recognize him so lately.
Like a modern Cale/Buckley.
Thanks for that.
Venetian Snares: Interesting but sometimes I wish them to be harder, than I wish them to be softer.
maybe it´s my problem...
Please go for the next 50!

Thanks for the Eno suggestions! The gaps are from my own incomplete listening, I'll definitely check out your suggestions! Eno is my favorite artists, so I really should have listened to his whole discography by now... there's just so much!
