Fat of the land - The Prodigy
All this time - Sting
Greatest hits II - Queen
US - Peter Gabriel
Good news from the next world - Simple Minds
Recurring dream - Crowded House

And although A LOT of music released nowadays is mindless, manufactured, vapid smeg aimed at no-taste teenies I don't think it's fair to label it all crap.

I am now confused on reading other's lists, I am reminded of other favourites and want to alter my original top 10!!

I am sure that 10 disc's only is too limiting.

Mmm, 10 is very tricky. Of course, with an MP3-CD player, you can fit a lot of albums on 10 discs, but I suspect that's cheating.

Off the top of my head,

Air - Moon Safari
Orbital - Insides
Nick Cave - Best of
Leonard Cohen - Best of (I just can't make a decision, can I? Are "best ofs" even allowed?)
Mozart - Requiem
Tom Waits - Closing Time
Bach - Brandenburg Concertos
Massive Attack - Protection
Kid Loco - A Grand Love Affair
Lacienda Honduras - Armaggedon

But I know if I could just
look at my CDs, this'd be a totally different list.
