6 Graham Central Station - My Radio Sure Sounds Good To Me
7 Bob Dylan - Street-Legal. a-side is a big yes from me
8 The Isley Brothers ‎– Showdown. my fave of theirs
9 Van Morrison - Wavelength. you can have your laughs, I love this thing
10 James Brown ‎– Take A Look At Those Cakes. still had it
11 Buzzcocks ‎– Another Music In A Different Kitchen
12 Buzzcocks ‎– Love Bites. pathetically, these 2 have slipped down my rankings as I age
13 Stevie Wonder- Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants. slagged off by everyone, the 2xLP drags for ages... but I still love it. Just an epic journey
14 Crazy Horse - Crazy Moon
