Hi all.. In between the quite heavy, yet surprisingly intriguing discussion about the homogenisation of the Western World (we feel it here in Aussieland also, though not from Wal-Mart), we started discussing the year's top albums. I just wanted to make sure a few that i've been listening to get put on the master list that Lee is compiling... Pugwash - Earworm Hitchcock's Regret - Her Life In Reverse The Jayhawks - Rainy Day Music Showbag! - The Town Loved In Emmylou Harris - Stunble Into Grace Lynchpin - Hand Picked Words Bobby Sutliff - Perfect Dream The Richies - Forever & Today Jason Walker - Ashes & Wine Michael Carpenter & King's Rd - Kingsrdworks There's 10 albums straight away that i would consider for my top 10, but there are so many albums already mentioned by others that i'd also have to consider. I'd call that a great year for music.. MC (disclaimer: i may have had some involvement with some of these albums)
