cheers john, nice list.
although not necessarily those actual albums, I've got
hendrix, floyd, bowie, clash, nirvana already.
I had dropped foo fighters greatest hits in the basket too.
I'll go and listen to those others.
got 'roses and oasis, but some other good ideas there soma. Moby..my god how do I not have Moby!
you've got to love amazon market place and zoverstocks. picking up albums like screamadelica for a quid, while sipping tea and eatng biscuits at home. 🙂
