Consolidation

From now on I am going to be posting my favourite choices from each decade but a little consolidation is needed first. What I will do is up date this posting every time I come across something that I would say is completely and utterly essential - so this list is going to lengthen as I go.

The real high points so far for me which I would not want you to miss are the following (album title in italics):-
