Agreed Pedro, fabulous rock voice. It’s still a work in progress so albums are going to be moved around and there will be a new number 1.

You didn't even bother to include Delicate Sound of Thunder or Yessongs, which is hailed to be one of the best live albums in existence. Yet you included Rust Never Sleeps and It's a Kind of Magic, which are not even real live albums...
