Not that bad, really.It could have been a lot worse than that.You'll never get two people to agree on a best top 10 albums list. I was expecting "the White Album" by the Beatles to feature.

How in the hell did Delta get on that list 
She even beat the Stones with only one album rated at 95

PS:  Anyone see that pathetic excuse for entertainment, the Countdown special on ABC the other night?
No wonder we are so Americanised - our local industry is quite pathetic, sorry to say, with a few exceptions.

[Moi]

1 - Carole King Tapestry - first album I ever bought and still play
2 - Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
3 - Beatles - White Album
4 - Eric Clapton - Unplugged
5 - Faith No More - Who Cares A Lot (Greatest Hits)
6 - Neil Young - Harvest
7 - Eagles - Hotel California
8 - Lauryn Hill - Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
9 - Michael Jackson - Off The Wall (his best album before he turned nuts lol)
10 - Red Hot Chili Peppers — Blood Sugar Sex Majik

Probably plenty I've missed out on - but I regularly still play these.  Used to luv Grace but hardly ever play it now, so I guess it's not a favourite. 70s child and proud of it lol

I don't worry too much about substance, just loud guitars and a fast beat. Still stuck in the late 70's-early 80's.

Well another of my favourite albums is:

Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell - the first one

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

ABBA - Arrival 

Kiss -(Music from) The Elder - best movie soundtrack without a movie
