November 25, 20159 yr What sort of insanity is this with Hounds of Love so low? And Please above Actually? Oh dear. And Duran Duran can feck off for good. Excellent to see Disintegration and The Queen is Dead in it. Stone Roses missing. Edited November 25, 20159 yr by Cauldron
November 25, 20159 yr a good list, just in the wrong order :lol: and any list that fails to include Super Trouper is flawed! :o
November 29, 20159 yr Tonight at #46! That was a pig's ear of an album with no possible resuscitation of it's reputation possible (apart from Loving The Alien) And what's The Dreaming doing so low!
November 30, 20159 yr And what's The Dreaming doing so low! I was really surprised that it was in the list at all.
December 5, 20159 yr Just realised Prince Charming is at 4! This is such a poor album. Especially compared to Kings of the Wild Frontier
