When I set out to do a list of my favourite albums there were a few rules that I had to comply with - they were to be albums that I knew inside out, albums that I've listened to a thousand times, NO Greatest Hits. I didn't want to include albums that were there simply because they were 'cool'. These albums shaped my life.
I had to LOVE each and every one.
