Wow! A match of 60 albums in common. Although we diverge a bit in rankings, with 1 match in our Top10 and 5 in our Top20. I must confess, my list is really only very roughly sorted past the 10.
The key differences (perhaps unsurprising to us both) is my penchant for a good dose of HM/Metal and your obviously vast knowledge on Oz Music (so many there that I will at some point, I hope, get to check out)
