Nice to see Bob Dylan in those top 10s, even though John Wesley Harding (the less celebrated follow-up to Blonde On Blonde) accounts for half of his 26 weeks at #1.

Thanks for that Colin. It's always good to see your lists!

 

 

Oops! I realised that I missed Michael Ball and Paul Weller out of List 1 and Justin Timberlake out of List 2.

I've now added them to the Lists...
