CLASSIC ALBUMS          (Updated 24th Aug. 2008)

Below is a selection of my favorite albums. I am not trying to be cool and hip by picking obscure and rare albums just good ones!

It is very much a work in progress and I will be updating it when I can.

Note: I have not tried to rate these albums with stars as they are all great. But I have put one star (*) against the ones which I think are essential to every collection.
